Paralia Taverna in full

Paralia Taverna is the value pick of the Troulos strip and one of the best value-for-money propositions on the island. It scores 4.7 on Tripadvisor — higher than most of the town's celebrated names — on the strength of doing simple things extremely well.

Generous portions at modest prices is the phrase that recurs. The pita gyros is called exceptional, the chips get their own mentions, and the souvlaki is the other order to make.

There is no view to speak of and no ambition beyond feeding people properly, which is precisely why it works. Families in particular do well here: the food arrives fast, the children eat what they recognise, and the bill is a fraction of a beachfront dinner.

If you are self-catering on the west side, this is the place to know about.

Koukounaries · 8.8/10

Under The Pine Tree

Gyros under €3, 1,806 reviews at 4.5, and an actual huge pine tree overhead. The best-value proper meal at the west end.

Troulos · 9.0/10

Nectar & Ambrosia (Troulos)

Reopened after two years dark and immediately climbed to #7 on the island. Valley views, staff in traditional dress, and a kitchen that is trying hard.

Troulos · 7.0/10

Taverna Troulos

Running since 1975 in a beachside spot at Troulos. Long-established and pleasant, but the ratings suggest it is coasting on position.

Troulos · 6.8/10

Taverna Vareli

A Troulos taverna with the widest data discrepancy in this guide: 4.3 on Google against 2.3 on Restaurant Guru. Included with that warning attached.

Skiathos Town — off Papadiamantis · 8.8/10

I Love Souvlaki

Family-run gyros and souvlaki with something the other souvlaki counters do not have: a proper garden full of colour to sit in.

Agia Paraskevi · 8.8/10

Taverna Maistrali

A family taverna at Agia Paraskevi since 2001, with homemade Greek cooking, a strong wine list and — decisively for some — a children's play area below the veranda.
