Elia's Restaurant in full
Elia's is inside the Mandraki Village Boutique Hotel at Koukounaries, serving modern Greek cooking with contemporary technique on traditional recipes, sourcing from small local farms. Seating is in a garden under a full-shade wooden pergola.
It won the Greek Cuisine award at the Toques d'Or / Golden Bonnets in 2016 — the only winner in the Sporades. That is a serious professional endorsement, and it sits almost entirely unseen behind a hotel's web presence.
Two identity traps to be aware of. First, despite the name it has nothing to do with Elia beach on the north coast — one of our researchers flagged this as an active source of confusion. Second, its Tripadvisor listing ID now resolves to White Taverna Bar at the same hotel property, so the listing appears to have been merged or renamed; do not attribute White Taverna Bar's rating to this restaurant.
