!Taverna Panos: A classic seaside fish tavern in Sithonia
If you’re tracing the curve of Sithonia’s coast and craving a proper Greek fish feast, Taverna Panos (a.k.a. Panos Fish Tavern) is that low-key, locals-love-it spot where the tables face the sea and the plates don’t skimp.
Where it is
Set on a tiny gulf in the Saint Kiraki area just a few kilometers from Neos Marmaras, Panos sits among pine trees with views across the Toroneos Gulf toward the Spalathronisia islets. GPS for your map: 40.028179, 23.814177.
Why it’s special
Family-run since 1979, Panos keeps things classic: simple grilling, olive oil of their own production, and seafood that—most months—the team sources themselves. House signature? The beloved astakomakaronada (lobster spaghetti).
Travelers back this up: Panos is consistently high-rated on TripAdvisor and carries the platform’s Travelers’ Choice recognition for strong, sustained reviews.
What to order
- Grilled daily catch (ask what came in)
- Astakomakaronada for a shareable show-stopper
- Meze to start — think fried zucchini, Greek salad, and the classics that pair with ouzo and sea air.
Atmosphere & setting
Expect white-and-blue tables right by the water, a relaxed rhythm, and that just-salted breeze you only get when you’re truly beachfront. (Yes, sunsets here are the move.)

Swim a nearby beach in the morning, drift into a late seafood lunch at Panos, then linger as the light drops. It’s the kind of place that turns a regular beach day into a memory.
