Top 5 fish taverns in Thassos \u2013 How to find a good place?<\/h2>\n

\"armeno-skala-maries\"<\/p>\n

Most visitors, when looking for a good place to go for lunch or dinner, read reviews on internet sites like \u201cTripAdvisor\u201d or \u201cGoogle My Business \u201d and compare restaurant prices. They then check out the listings on arrival and decide accordingly.<\/p>\n

Another way to find out which are the best taverns is to take note of where the locals go or, simply to ask hotel owners or car hire representatives for tips. Greek people are, in general, very friendly and helpful and they are always happy to share insiders\u2019 tips with you! In many instances, these insiders are actually related to the tavern owners themselves and their personal introduction will guarantee that you are greeted warmly and receive V.I.P treatment!<\/p>\n

Top 5 fish taverns Thassos – Do I need to book a table?<\/h2>\n

\"nisi-table\"<\/p>\n

In general, most of the places we detail below don\u2019t require a reservation. However, if you are a big group or you want to book a certain table for a special occasion, you should contact the tavern owners to make a reservation prior to your visit. This applies especially on 15th <\/sup>August during the biggest bank holiday in Greece, when the taverns fill up quickly.<\/p>\n

Top 5 fish taverns Thassos – What about prices?<\/h2>\n

Prices<\/a> depend on how much you eat and what you actually order. In the case of fish dishes, many taverns allow you to choose a fish from their display cabinet, the staff then weigh it for you and inform you of the exact cost. Generally speaking, for a few small fish dishes and some house wine or a glass of ouzo, you can expect a bill of around 40-50 euros for two people.<\/p>\n

Top 5 fish taverns Thassos- Is tipping obligatory?<\/h2>\n

Tipping is not obligatory. If you are satisfied with the food and the service, a gratuity of between 5% and 10% is a good guide. You can either leave it on the table with the bill, give it to the waiter directly, or tell the waiter you don’t want the change from your bill. Tipping with a credit card is not common\/possible. It is preferable to have some small change with you.<\/p>\n

Top 5 fish taverns Thassos – Can I pay by card?<\/h2>\n

This is a very common question among tourists. In most places on Thassos, you can pay with your credit card. If you are unsure about a specific restaurant, feel free to ask the waitress before you order.<\/p>\n

Top 5 fish taverns Thassos – Are there any special dress code \u201crules\u201d?<\/h2>\n

Definitely not! Most people in Thassos dress casually, so take your comfy clothes with you on your holiday.<\/p>\n
