Mam Souvlaki in full
Mam Souvlaki is on Papadiamantis Street at number 9, right in the middle of the main drag, and it is the busiest of the town's souvlaki counters by footfall.
The chicken gyros pita is the order. Reviewers describe it as excellent, super tasty and authentic, with at least one calling it the best gyros in Skiathos — putting it in direct competition with No Name a few streets away. Prices are low, with chicken gyros around €3, the seating is plentiful and clean, and the staff get consistently good marks for being friendly and fun.
The rating split needs flagging. Restaurant Guru has it at 4.8 across 879 reviews; Tripadvisor has it at 3.9 across 246, ranked #173 of 299. That is a near-full-point gap on substantial samples from both, and it is one of the widest divergences in this guide.
The most likely explanation is audience: Restaurant Guru skews towards people rating a €3 gyros as a €3 gyros, while Tripadvisor reviewers tend to score fast-food counters against restaurants. Judge it as a souvlaki stop and it is very good. Judge it as dinner and it will disappoint.
