Megalos Aselinos Taverna

The larger Aselinos beach and a straightforward taverna serving good grilled food at fair prices. Dependable rather than remarkable.

Megalos Aselinos Taverna in full

Megalos Aselinos is the bigger of the two Aselinos beaches, a long exposed stretch on the north coast popular with people who want space and do not mind wind.

The taverna is described by reviewers as fine for a lunch — a nice Greek salad or something off the grill — and as being of good quality at fairly normal prices. That is a modest endorsement and an accurate one: this is a functional, decent beach taverna rather than a destination.

It does the job it exists to do. If you are spending the day at Megalos Aselinos, you will eat perfectly well without needing to plan around it.

If you want the north coast beach taverna that people rave about rather than merely approve of, its smaller neighbour Mikros Aselinos is the one to aim for.
