Nireas
Νηρέας
A family-run seafood tavern operating since 1989 under a vine-covered trellis in an Old Town alley, famous for its fresh fish and seafood pasta.
Located at 22 Sofokleous Street in the Old Town, Nireas has been run by the Tsikis family since 1989. The outdoor seating is set under a leafy grape arbor, offering a quieter atmosphere than the main street restaurants. The menu is almost entirely seafood, with the catch of the day, fried calamari, octopus, seafood pasta, and crab cakes frequently mentioned. Fresh fish is priced by weight, so it is best to confirm the price before ordering. Average spend is about €30–50 per person. Most reviews from 2026 are positive, though there are occasional complaints about 40-minute waits or inconsistent dishes. Reservations are recommended for dinner during peak season. Within walking distance inside the Old Town.
