About

Ftelea Fish Taverna sits in Ksamil, a coastal village in the south, and builds its reputation on seafood caught fresh daily. The kitchen handles fried squid, mussels, sea bass, and sea bream with straightforward skill — the kind of place where the fish matters more than the plating. You can order lunch or dinner, grab coffee and a pastry for breakfast, or linger over wine and dessert into the evening.

Why we like it
We keep coming back because Ftelea does the simplest thing well: it sources good seafood and cooks it without fuss. In Ksamil, where the waterfront is lined with tavernas, this one has earned a following among travelers who know the difference between a packed restaurant and a busy one for the right reasons. The reviews speak louder than any claim we could make.
