About
Welcome to STELIOS, a captivating seafood gem located in the scenic town of Γυρίσματα on the picturesque island of Skiros, Greece. This charming family-owned restaurant shines with its warm hospitality and an atmosphere that invites you to unwind and indulge in delicious culinary delights. The stunning seafront setting serves as the perfect backdrop, especially during sunset, creating an unforgettable dining experience.
At the heart of STELIOS is its owner, Manolis. Renowned for his polite and welcoming demeanor, he is committed to making sure your dining experience is tailored to your tastes. With a menu brimming with fresh, local seafood, each dish is crafted with care. Patrons rave about the roposoupa (grouper fish soup) — a delightful starter that warms the soul. The freshness of the ingredients is evident, especially in standout offerings like the kavourosalata, a crab salad that boasts real crab meat instead of the common surimi imitation.
One cannot mention STELIOS without highlighting the main event: the astakomakaronada (lobster pasta). Diners have described it as utterly mouthwatering, with perfectly cooked pasta holding a rich lobster sauce that excites the palate. As if that weren’t enough, the restaurant complements the meal with a selection of decent house wines, making each sip as delightful as the last bite.
For dessert, guests are treated to special offerings like watermelon, loukoumades with praline, and a delicious ambaroriza liqueur that round off the dining experience on a sweet note. The overall consensus? STELIOS not only serves fantastic food but also envelops you in a family-friendly, inviting atmosphere.
While not every experience has been perfect—like some reported issues with specific dishes—the warmth from the staff and the intention behind the service remain constant highlights. Whether you crave freshly caught seafood or simply seek a welcoming spot by the sea, STELIOS is sure to impress. Highly recommended for both locals and travelers!
