Petrino Beach Restaurant
@schuylerbailey
If you’re into the idea of trying an island delicacy like wild goat (and you should), try it here. It’s what Petrino is known for—along with some killer homemade chocolate ice cream. The setting, off Plaka beach, with tables shaded by a leafy trellis, makes for relaxing, lazy lunches.

Matina & Stavros Tavern
@schuylerbailey
The little town of Koronos is about eighteen miles from the main town of Chora on Naxos. This means that Matina Taverna is pretty much a locals-only spot, and a trip here is a good excuse to get off the beaten track. Stavros—Matina’s husband—is a Naxian who grows his own vegetables, churns his own dairy, and even makes his own wine. It’s all served at the restaurant, with plentiful portions of Stavros’s cheese to round off a meal. There’s no menu. Instead, the server lets each table know what’s cooking that day. Matina’s slow-cooked stews and meat braises—all simmered in traditional clay pots—and her flaky vegetable-stuffed pastries make for deeply nourishing, soul-satisfying dinners.

Meze *2
@schuylerbailey
Meze Meze sits right on the main harbor and can get a bit touristy, but that has no bearing on the food. The garlicky shellfish and cheese-stuffed squid are standouts, but you could skip dinner and come here just for dessert. The crispy and sweet candied carrots, unlike anything we’ve had before, are served with a healthy dollop of savory Greek yogurt.
