With it being set back from the sea front road they don't get the passing trade others on the front do. Maybe they have to try harder with their food to compensate for this and I think it may also have an effect on their prices which I'm sure would be higher if they were in a better position. So...

Somewhat smarter than average (proper tablecloths & matching tableware) and a little more expensive but not much. I had the spicy pork which was delicious but very rich as it is finished with cream (my fault for not reading the menu properly). Very good service and as usual in Plakias free dish of fruit and raki at the end of... More

Good taverna with lovely food and very attentive service. The spicy pork meze was delicious and the home made meatballs excellent too.

The meal was ok. My moussaka was made with potato powder, but my wife's veal schnitzel was superb. We got what we paid for, and we would go back.

The food was good but not as good as we read in the reviews. Nice service, very few vegan options, the aubergine (eegplant) salad was delicious. My partner had a lmab koftna and he thought it was a bit too dry.

During our stay in Plakias we visited Medusa twice. The 1st time we tried some starters: fried cheese (very tasteful) and the mixed platter of starters. Of the latter we really liked the fried zucchini cakes, the garlic - potatoe spread and grilled sausage. On our 2nd visit we tried the meat balls in tomato sauce and grilled sausages. This... More
