Marmita in full
Marmita occupies a traditional house on Evangelistrias Street, and the room you want is not a room at all but the courtyard garden behind it β stone walls, mature trees, soft lighting, the noise of the town dropping away the moment you sit down. It is comfortably the prettiest dining space in Skiathos Town, and it has been drawing gourmets for over a decade.
The kitchen works in seasonal, local ingredients and treats Greek cooking as a starting point rather than a fixed script. Expect Mediterranean technique applied to island produce: refined plating, some unexpected pairings, an extensive wine list that goes well beyond the house-carafe default. The moussaka is the dish that converts sceptics β repeatedly described in reviews as sensational, and a world away from the tray-baked version served everywhere else. Seafood pasta and sea bass are the other reliable orders, and the baklava is worth leaving room for.
It is important to be straight about the split in opinion here, because it is real and it is consistent. The majority verdict is that Marmita is the best cooking on the island. A persistent minority β enough to show up in the aggregate scores β find it overpriced and occasionally gimmicky, with complaints centring on under-seasoned pasta and portions that feel small against the bill. Both experiences appear to be genuine, which suggests a kitchen that is ambitious and not perfectly consistent.
Our read: go, but order the Greek-rooted dishes rather than the international-leaning ones, which is where the value sits. Budget β¬28β45 a head before serious wine, and know that you are paying for the setting as much as the plate. Booking is effectively mandatory.
