Kabourelias Ouzeri-Tavern in full
Kabourelias is an ouzeri in the full traditional sense — a fish-and-meze house where the drinking and the eating are the same activity — and it sits on the old port where the fishing boats tie up. It is the most boisterous entry in this guide, with traditional Greek music, plate-breaking and ouzo flowing late into the night.
The food deserves more credit than the party reputation implies. Grilled fish, calamari and seafood pasta are the standouts, portions are generous, and the tsipoura in particular is singled out by fish-lovers. Prices are repeatedly described as fair and reasonable compared with the rest of Skiathos, which for a waterfront location is unusual.
The rating spread here is the widest of any restaurant in this guide and needs explaining: Restaurant Guru has it at 4.8 across 797 reviews, Google at 4.2, and Tripadvisor at just 4.0 with a mid-table rank. Reading the reviews, the pattern is clear — people who come for the atmosphere love it unreservedly, while a minority arriving expecting a quiet, precise dinner find the service slow and some main courses underwhelming. Both are true. It depends entirely on what you came for.
Come with a group, sit outside, order lots of small plates and fish, and let the evening run away from you.
