Thinalos Seafood Restaurant - Θίν'αλος

This restaurant is a bit away from the center of Athens, but trust me — it’s so worth the trip! The food is delicious, the prices are super reasonable, and the overall value is incredible. I went during an off-peak hour, yet the place was still almost full — and mostly with locals, which is always a great sign. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with friendly staff and genuine hospitality. After the meal, they even surprised me with a free ice cream and a small glass of Ouzo, Greece’s signature spirit — the perfect sweet ending to a wonderful meal. If you’re looking for a local spot that truly captures the taste of Greece, this is a place you shouldn’t miss!

Great little find - I was looking for a restaurant close to the hotel via Google Maps and this one came up. I visited with my daughters on the last night of our holiday in Athens and was not disappointed. The food was delicious, the seafood fresh and the service perfunctory but friendly. We arrived quite early around 5:30pm and had a choice of tables but it started to get really busy when we left so would recommend making a reservation. We ordered the shrimps twice as they were so good! The calamari was a little limp but the sardines yummy. Would definitely return.

If you’re looking for the best seafood experience in Athens, Thinalos easily tops the list. Every dish bursts with freshness… from the tender grilled octopus to the perfectly seasoned shrimp and fish, each plate celebrates the flavors of the Aegean. The menu offers an impressive variety, the portions are generous, and the service is warm and attentive, the kind that makes you feel instantly welcome. It’s a must-visit for me every time I’m in Athens, a place where great food, good energy, and the spirit of Greece come together beautifully.

For the best fresh seafood in Athens, this is the place! This was my second time eating here, and it was just as incredible as the first. What sets this restaurant apart is its impressive seafood tank. You can see all the fresh catches before they're cooked and served, which guarantees quality. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, especially the seafood lasagna and the risotto. The restaurant itself is very well-kept and clean, and the staff is incredibly kind and respectful. It's truly a 10/10 experience! I can't recommend it enough and will definitely be back for a third time.
