Kalamies Seaside Restaurant
Καλαμιές
A family seafood taverna at the eastern end of Kokkari harbor with a seaside terrace, known for what is called Samos's best calamari.
Kalamies stands at the east end of Kokkari harbor, just before Mikri Limnionas beach, and is the last restaurant on the waterfront. It is run by a husband-and-wife team. The sign at the door proclaims the best calamari on Samos, and both fried and grilled versions get praise. Other dishes include grilled sea bream, octopus, swordfish and prawn saganaki, and the stuffed vine leaves are often praised too. The elegant terrace overlooks Kokkari village and the sea, and a glass of Samos muscat is often served after the meal. A meal for two with several dishes and ouzo costs about €50. Both peak-season and off-season diners report slow service and slow checkout.
