A guide to the best restaurants in Tingaki
With so many flavourful authentic Greek taverns and cafes lining Tingaki’s beach, you’ll have a hard time deciding where to eat for your next meal. The coastline is where the majority of restaurants are located, which means you can indulge in traditional Greek food while still looking out towards the beautiful coastline that holidays to Kos are known for. The best restaurants in Tingaki are all local Greek spots, but many of these joints cater towards visitors and have a large variety of different country’s cuisines on their menu.
International and Greek delights at Esperos
This little restaurant serves up authentic Greek and Mediterranean meals alongside a huge array of international favourites. No matter what you fancy you’ll be able to find something at Esperos from Italian, British, Indian and even Thai options. Located opposite the beach you can choose from favourites like burgers, pasta and curry while you watch the world go by.
Greek seafood specialities with a view at Plori
Plori is a Greek family restaurant right on the beach front specialising in seafood delights. Some of the most popular dishes are sea bass, sword fish, prawns and grilled tuna steaks.
