Nea Folia
Grandma's kitchen meets deli on the slope below the old town
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Open since 1967 on the lower fringe of Ano Poli, Nea Folia looks like a cross between a grandmother's kitchen and a corner deli: timber chairs, dry pasta for sale on the shelves and an old jukebox in the corner. The handwritten menu turns with the season toward dishes like liver with sauteed cabbage, Xanthi kavourmas and seasonal seafood, poured with boutique Greek labels. It draws locals precisely because it sits off the tourist track.
Editor's Tip
Read the handwritten daily list rather than ordering by habit; the shrimp-with-trahanas style plates are the ones regulars chase.
