Taverna Selini in full
Selini is on A. Moraitidou Street in Plakes, up the steps above the Old Port, with a terrace that takes in the harbour, the Bourtzi peninsula and the monastery. It is described as one of the oldest tavernas on the island.
The menu is authentically Greek with a seafood lean — mussels, sea bream and a chef's pasta are the named dishes. It rates 4.4 on Restaurant Guru across 454 reviews.
It sits just above the Plakes bathing slabs, which have no facilities of their own, so this is effectively the nearest food and drink to that stretch of shoreline.
