Geladakis Fish Restaurant

During our recent visit to Aegina Town, we had the pleasure of dining at Geladakis Fish Restaurant, also known as Psarotaverna Agora. Nestled directly behind the bustling fish market on Panayioti Ireoti Street, this family-run taverna has been a cornerstone of authentic Aeginetan dining since 1962.

Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Mr. Stelios Geladakis, whose attentive and kind demeanor immediately made us feel at home. Opting to sit at one of the outdoor tables, we were immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of the market, which added a unique charm to our dining experience.

The menu showcased a variety of fresh seafood, and we took the opportunity to select our preferred catch directly from the adjacent market stalls—a delightful and interactive aspect of the restaurant. We chose grilled octopus, fried red mullet, and a classic Greek salad.

The octopus was tender and flavorful, while the red mullet was perfectly fried, highlighting its freshness. The accompanying Greek salad, topped with local feta and olives, provided a refreshing balance to the meal.

Throughout our lunch, the service was prompt and friendly, with staff ensuring our glasses were never empty and that we had everything we needed.

The house white wine complemented our dishes beautifully, enhancing the overall experience.

As we dined, we couldn’t help but notice the mix of locals and visitors, all enjoying the authentic cuisine and lively ambiance. It’s evident that Geladakis has maintained its reputation for quality and tradition over the decades.

In conclusion, our experience at Geladakis Fish Restaurant was exceptional. The combination of fresh, expertly prepared seafood, warm hospitality, and the unique setting amidst the fish market makes it a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Aegina.
