Taverna Stathis-Lia in full
Stathis-Lia (you will also see it as Stathis Agge-Lia) is set among ancient olive trees above Vromolimnos, and the description that recurs in review after review is of colourful flowers, lights and candles among the old trunks. It is, on the evidence of the photographs and the write-ups, one of the two or three most beautiful places to eat on Skiathos.
The food is described as more than just Greek, with international touches, and β importantly β everything including the desserts is freshly homemade, with herbs grown by the family. That is a real distinction on an island where a lot of kitchens buy in.
Service earns strong words: extremely attentive, friendly, relaxed and professional all at once. Facebook recommendations sit at 96%, though from a small sample of 35.
The honest caveat is the price. One reviewer records around β¬85 for two people without desserts, which puts it firmly in the upper bracket for a taverna outside town. Tripadvisor's 4.0 across 180 reviews is lower than the qualitative reviews would lead you to expect, and price-versus-expectation is the most likely explanation. Go for an anniversary rather than a Tuesday.
