Taverna Nafsika in full
Nafsika is a bistro-on-the-beach below the Nostos Hotel at Kanapitsa, and the setting is genuinely stunning — right on the sand, looking out across the bay.
It carries the lowest rating of anything in this guide: 2.5 out of 5 on Tripadvisor. The sample is small at 32 reviews, so the figure should not be treated as definitive, but the pattern within those reviews is consistent enough to matter.
The complaints centre on price rather than hospitality. Service is described as very good and the restaurant manager, George, is singled out as a terrific host who goes out of his way for his customers. The problem is what things cost: €8 for a side order of chips is the example one reviewer gives, and 'expensive' recurs throughout.
There is a genuine dissenting view — at least one reviewer was surprised by the negative ratings and reported their best lunch of the week here. On balance, we would treat it as a place for a drink in a lovely spot rather than a meal, and check the current menu prices before ordering.
