To Psaraki
A seafood-focused taverna above Vlychada marina on the island's quieter south coast.

Worth it if you only have one day and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
Overlooking the fishing boats at Vlychada, it leans into the day's catch with a terrace that feels a world away from Oia's queues.
Our read - 02

Plan it well
