2 Best Restaurants in Sounion, Attica and Delphi

Sit among the pines, take in the view of the sea, and snack on the traditional pites (homemade pastry pies, typically stuffed with cheese and spinach) before indulging in the best fresh seafood in the area. The scent of grilled fish wafts in the air, whetting the appetite. Sample mussels infused with saffron; crispy, salty fried anchovies; tender octopus in a wine sauce; and tomato-slathered shrimp and orzo, then sit back and contentedly stare over the water.

A Greek-British husband-and-wife team build their menu around huge portions of fresh fish and seafood, like the steamed mussels with feta in wine cheese sauce or the seafood pastas. At the end of the dinner, the plate of seasonal fruit or the homemade chocolate kormos (log-shaped) cake is on the house. Beware of busy summer weekends, when reservations are strongly advised.
