Scenic Greek seafood taverna with generous portions and freebies; great views but mixed food consistency, mosquitoes/wasps, occasional cash-only and service hiccups—best for the setting and simple grills.
Perched above the water with views of Mouse Island and low-swooping planes, Avra is a relaxed taverna where complimentary bites land before your order and sunsets glow over tiered terraces. Service is often warm and brisk, with one diner noting, "They welcomed us kindly and brought starters on the house." However, expect occasional insect visitors and periodic restroom wear, and know that aircraft passes can get pretty loud. The cooking leans traditional Corfiot and Greek—think grilled squid and swordfish, bourdeto and bianco—with big portions and fair prices for the waterfront setting. Many guests rave about flaky swordfish and crisp calamari, while a minority reports inconsistent freshness or seasoning. It is best when you stick to simple grills and salads and come for the view as much as the plate. Families do fine here thanks to familiar grills and ice cream, plus Greek salad and fries for cautious eaters. Do prepare for mosquitoes or wasps on the terraces at times, and the occasional loud plane pass. There is no dedicated kids menu noted, but the menu’s simple options keep most kids happy.
