Mikros Aselinos Taverna in full
Mikros Aselinos is the smaller of the two Aselinos beaches on the north coast, and its taverna is the kind of place people write paragraphs about. One reviewer describes it as looking like it is straight out of Robinson Crusoe, which captures the driftwood-and-bamboo aesthetic well.
What lifts it above a scenic curiosity is the cooking. Reviews describe genuine food prepared to the moment — not pre-made and reheated, which is the standard failing of remote beach kitchens — with delicious souvlaki and gyros, and what one reviewer calls the best calamari they had on Skiathos.
The staff come in for exceptional praise: super friendly and lovely, with kindness mentioned as often as the food. Reviewers describe a lovely team and a perfect menu with a good choice of dishes.
It is a beach taverna, so it is seasonal and weather-dependent, and the north coast roads require care. Worth the effort for lunch on a day exploring the wilder half of the island.
