Karousos - Pyrgos

We had a great time and feed here! they can choose their fish in the kitchen! it was great.

Ok so I have two reviews here combined into one. My parents ordered this plate full of seafood and I had chicken souvlaki. My dish was not good but my parents really enjoyed theirs. The man serving us was very friendly and he did his best trying to communicate with us so thank you for being patient with us sir! This place was a few mins from where our cruise ship was docked so we picked it for its location, cleanliness and seating. It was a bit pricey as well so maybe for taste and price it was worth it for the seafood but for the chicken it’s a no.

After strolling around small but charming Katakolo we were a bit hungry. There are several options by the sea. This one had ok reviews, a good number of crew members from the cruise (always a good sign), a nice view, interesting menu and....some free tables, one right at front with good views (they have a huge amounts of tables). The staff here was despite it really was busy extremely friendly. Two cold beers arrived quickly with the menu. Many items looked interesting, we were looking for some fish and/or seafood. We decided on a seafood platter. Fried little fish, calamari, shrimp, octopus, cheese and some fries. Price was fair (for two). Everything tasted really good and fresh. The octopus was really tender (someting many can't pull off). We ordered two more beer....and they didn't arrive for quite a while until we reminded our waiter, but understanding it's a busy place. Came quickly after with the beer....on the house (because he kept us waiting). How nice was that. Good food, nice views, friendly staff. Fantastic option here in Katakolo.

When cruise ships are not docked, this is the only place in Katakolo that has customers during lunch and it is mainly locals. Their meat dishes are very good I cannot comment on the fish dishes but locals informed me to avoid them.

Katakolon is a two street village built for the cruise industry and there are lots and lots of restaurants in the front row, we chose this one as it looked more 'authentic. ' Food was okay, nothing special and nothing bad about it. The pressure for tipping was a bit sharp, particularly as the service was pretty average.
