About

Located in a serene setting near the Koukounaries area, Ilia's Orchard offers a dining experience that feels tucked away from the busier coastal spots. True to its name, the restaurant is situated within a lush garden and fruit orchard, where tables are spaced out under the trees to provide a quiet, natural atmosphere.

Known for its focus on traditional Greek cuisine, with a kitchen that emphasizes grounded, authentic flavors and a menu that reflects the family-run nature of the establishment. The service is attentive and personal, contributing to a relaxed evening where the environment is as much a part of the meal as the food itself. Many visitors appreciate the peaceful transition from the nearby beaches to the orchard, noting that the absence of loud music and the spacious outdoor seating make it an ideal spot for a long, slow dinner. Whether you are stopping by for their slow-cooked meats or fresh vegetable dishes, the restaurant provides a tranquil, rustic vibe that feels like a genuine slice of island life.

An excellent place to visit for dinner. We went for seafood and weren't disappointed. The stuffed squid was well cooked and the stuffing was very tasty. The shrimps wrapped in bacon was delicious. Not a huge wine list and bottles were a bit pricey but by the carafe was far cheaper and perfectly acceptable.

We have eaten here a couple of times now and every time the foods been delicious. It’s real home cooked Greek food with big portions you won’t be leaving hungry. The staff are always friendly and very welcoming. When we come back to Skiathos we will definitely be coming here again.

My husband & I had meals in this taverna for the first time in 7 years and it was absolutely great! Salad, souvlaki, grilled fish, moussaka etc, everything was so fresh and tasty. Friendly but attentive service was pleasant, too. We were so happy to see that Ilia's Orchard was still thriving and well-loved. Try fried zucchini. This is really beautiful ❤️

Great meal! We had no lunch on this day, so we were hungry… I had muscles as starter and a grilled calamari as my main - cooked to perfection and wife had a few starts ( she not a big eater) but what we didn’t realise the starters here are for sharing- 2 persons. So you can imagine the Portion sizes. Jackpot!!! I was a very happy boy! Definitely recommend a visit if you’re around the area but not tonight as I going back! 😉Nearly forgot very reasonable priced to boot. Give this little gem a try you won’t be disappointed. Here again I had the fish & chips. Light batter and skin on quarters fries=beautiful… wife went for the calamari.. See pictures…. Fantastic food with superb service. Truly Greek. Wonderful

What can I say about this amazing restaurant… apart from it really is incredible. I’ve been coming to Skiathos for 20 years now, and have been visiting Ilias Orchid ever since. I have lost count of the amount of times i’ve eaten here, however 3 times in the last week just shows how wonderful this restaurant is. You receive the warmest welcome from the whole family, the service is impeccable, nothing is ever too much. All of the staff are so hard working, yet have all the time in the world for you. The setting is simply stunning, it feels as though you’re welcomed into their home, settled back from the main road, down a gorgeous palm tree lined path, the whole place is so beautifully traditionally greek. On a friday they have live music playing which just adds to the whole greek experience, and the musician is outstanding. The food is out of this world. Over the years between my family we have tried everything on the menu, and each dish is just amazing. All very traditional dishes, freshly prepared and divine. I recommend this restaurant to all of my friends who visit and live on Skiathos, and everyone loves it. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. It’s the perfect place. Thank you for making yet another holiday wonderful, see you next year! ❤️
