Strofilia in full
Koukounaries is the island's most famous beach and, as often happens, the dining around it is weaker than the setting deserves. Strofilia is the exception and the one that takes top votes among the nearby tavernas.
It is a garden restaurant, and the atmosphere gets as much praise as the cooking — a green, relaxed space away from the beach crowds. Ratings are consistent at 4.3 to 4.4 across Tripadvisor and Restaurant Guru, the latter across a healthy 882 reviews.
The food is Greek taverna cooking done properly, with reviewers praising quality, the garden setting and the service together. At least one review calls it probably the best Greek restaurant on the island, though that is an outlier rather than the consensus.
As with anywhere this popular, there are dissenting voices — one strongly negative review stands out in the record — but the weight of evidence across nearly a thousand ratings is solidly positive.
