Gialos and Nisiotiko focus on seafood; Loukoulos offers traditional Greek dishes and charcoal grill; Kanavidis centres on Greek grill food. Ai Giorgis adds a seaside setting outside the city.

1. 1. Gialos: fish meze on Apolloniados Street

   

   Gialos Seafood Taverna, at Apolloniados 26, centres its listing on fish, seafood, meze and appetisers. Choose this direction when the table wants dishes from the sea and several plates to share.

   Its Sea View tag also gives you a setting to consider alongside the food. Compare the current menu with your group, especially if some people want fish and others prefer a different main dish.

2. 2. Nisiotiko: seafood and meze at Zarifi 1

   

   Nisiotiko lists fish, seafood and meze at Zarifi 1. It offers another seafood-focused option inside Alexandroupoli, useful for a lunch or dinner plan built around shared dishes.

   Put it alongside Gialos when comparing seafood tavernas, then choose using the menu, address and route that work for your evening. The two listings give you options, not a ranking of which kitchen is better.

3. 3. Loukoulos: traditional Greek food and charcoal grill

   

   At Apolloniados 12, Loukoulos lists traditional Greek dishes, charcoal-grilled meats and local specialities. Its profile also mentions seafood, making it useful when the group has mixed preferences rather than one shared craving.

   Compare it with the seafood-focused places if you want a Greek tavern meal with more than one direction to take. The choice here is about the food your group wants to order, not simply choosing the nearest restaurant.

4. 4. Kanavidis 1974: a Greek grill meal in the centre

   

   Kanavidis 1974 keeps the focus on grilled meats and souvlaki. Its address is listed as Emporiou 53 / Kountouriotou 18, making it a city-centre option for a table that wants Greek grill food.

   The published profile mentions salads and dips alongside the grill dishes. Consider it when the main decision is meat and souvlaki, with a few sides to share, rather than a seafood meal.

5. 5. Ai Giorgis: a seaside tavern outing in Makri

   

   Ai Giorgis is in the Ai Giorgis area of Makri, near Alexandroupoli, rather than the city centre. Its profile lists fish, seafood, Greek appetisers and meat dishes in a seaside setting.

   Treat this as a separate outing that includes the journey. Use the map in the profile to plan the route, allow time for travel, and check opening and table availability before leaving the city.
