Old-town waterfront taverna for charcoal-grilled meats and classic Greek plates at budget prices, with generous portions and complimentary raki, but inconsistent execution and mixed service experiences.
Samaria delivers reliable seaside dining with strong charcoal-grilled meats and traditional Greek classics paired with appealing harbor views and excellent value for a waterfront location. However, inconsistent execution—particularly with house gyros and occasional service lapses—prevents higher performance, and the casual taverna format lacks the refinement or distinction needed to compete with the area's premier dining destinations. Best approached as a reliable neighborhood favorite rather than a destination.
One caveat: Gyros differs from classic format (often sliced grilled meat, no pita), leading to disappointment for purists
