About

Joni Restaurant Ksamil sits in the beach village of Ksamil, serving seafood and Mediterranean fare from 8am to 1am. The kitchen handles moussaka and risotto with equal confidence, but seafood — mussels and larger catches — is where the restaurant's reputation sits. The staff carries a reputation for genuine warmth, and the space itself feels casual and cozy, the kind of place where you linger over a drink after eating.
