The Final Step in full
The name is a warning and a promise. The Final Step is at the top of a long climb through the stepped lanes of the old town, and the ascent is genuinely taxing in summer heat. What waits at the top is a terrace with an uninterrupted sweep over the rooftops and out to sea that regulars describe, flatly, as the best view on the island.
It has been run by its owner, Pam, for more than twenty-five years, and that continuity shows in a kitchen and a floor team that know exactly what they are doing. The food is Mediterranean fine dining with Greek flavours running through it. Pork fillet, octopus and sea bass are the dishes that recur in reviews, and the steak fillet is singled out as being cooked properly to order β not something every kitchen on Skiathos manages.
The scoring is remarkably consistent across platforms: 4.6 on Tripadvisor across 1,341 reviews, 4.6 on Restaurant Guru across 1,988. That kind of agreement across a large sample usually means a restaurant with no serious off-nights.
Prices sit in the mid-to-high band and, as reviewers note without much complaint, you are partly paying for the vista. Go early enough to catch the light, wear shoes you can climb in, and do not attempt it with a pushchair or with anyone who struggles on stairs.
