Palairos (Greek: Πάλαιρος) is an ancient city and a modern town in Aetolia-Acarnania, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform Palairos is part of the municipality Aktio-Vonitsa, of which it is a municipal unit. The municipal unit has an area of 205.843 km. The municipal unit was formed as the independent municipality Kekropia in 1994 from the former communities Palairos and Pogonia, and was expanded with the former communities Vatos, Plagia and Peratia as a part of the 1997 Kapodistrias reform. The name was changed to Palairos in 2004.

We booked for a meal during one of the Neilson non-inclusive nights. I would strongly recommend booking as there aren't many tables. The owner was very welcoming and brought a variety of dishes for us to sample throughout the evening. There is no menu and food is prepared in advance by the owner. We had a huge bottle of rose wine between 6 of us (which we managed to empty!). It was a very enjoyable evening but be prepared for a long evening as the service is quite slow - which was great as long as you aren't in any hurry.

Went most nights of our two week holiday either to eat or just for cocktails.. great pizza from the wood burning oven or the massive cheap club Sandwich or home made burgers. Listen to the Great sounds sitting on bean bags with the sea lapping at your feet ... so relaxing.

A typical beach front taverna offering sunbeds and parasols on the beach. Beach service was good and not expensive. The food was typical taverna fare with some excellent seafood, carefully cooked and served by family members. I can't understand why anybody could complain! Its not expensive, service is competent and friendly

Panorama Restaurant

Reviewed By Carl C - Stockholm, Sweden

We had dinner here twice while in Paleros.
The place offers a huge selection of dishes.
The greek ones were nothing special.
The Indian however was surprisingly good.
Would be highly competitive also in a big multinational city like London e.g.
They have good pizzas too.
You get a huge amount of food for a ridiculous price.
We, three persons, payed about €30-35 for starters and main house wine included.
Service was very friendly.
Highly recommended.

Tomorrow

The Tomorrow Restaurant is situated on the beach front in Paleros and is a family run. Having just returned from holiday there I wanted to say how wonderful it is. There are many restaurants in that area and after eating there we wished we had found it sooner. Not only is there food the best but the staff go out of the way to be friendly. They serve greek/european food all cooked my the father so the food is always of a high standard and fantastic value for money. Please tell people not to walk past. If they do they will regret it.

Our experience of 'Tomorrow' was very disappointing. The restaurant owner is pushy and a sales person, we were warned of this but still fell for the promise of good food, fairly priced children's meals (to include drinks) and good wine which was cheaper than the rival restaurants.
The food delivered was not great and was very overpriced for what it was. The wine would not have been out of place stripping paint and we were charged an extortionate amount for a child's portion of calamari. Needless to say, drinks for the kids were charged on top.
There are some really lovely restaurants in Palairos. Really don't waste your money here. You will be ripped off.

Skamnia

Unlke most restaurants along the beach in Paleros, this one is hidden away in an old square a little bit away from the seafront. However, it was by far the best we ate at. We didn't order from a menu, the owner prepared several dishes for six of us using fish that was fresh that day.

Following recommendation we hunted out this restaurant and found a wonderful "traditional" family restaurant. The young friendly waiter made us feel very welcome.
We opted for a mezzo to start a small carafe of white and an Alfa beer. For the main course we let the waiter recommmend something and he suggested a mix of meats.
The mezzo was huge. A tray more suited for 4 than 2 but lots of fried stuff and grilled halloumi. A small portion of diced tomato, onion and cucumber provided the relief.
The main was an enormous mixed grill lightly sprinkled with fries. Chops, sausages and veal steaks. For us it was so much as to be off-putting. There was too much quite heavily salted grilled meat.
The whole meal came to €36 so you can't fault the price.
I'd recommend picking wisely off the menu if you prefer something balanced with salad or vegetables.
Simple cooking. Lots of noise from passing motorbikes and scooters!!

If you like calves liver come here. The people who run it are lovely and the food always is good. The menu changes and we have never had a bad meal here. A lot of Greeks eat here which says a lot. The prices are very competitive and the wine is good. We love this place and it is probably our favourite restaurant in the village.

Anna Fish Tavern

Reviewed By Carl C - Stockholm, Sweden

We had dinner here one night while staying in Paleros.
The location is great at the end of the beach Promenade.
Friendly welcome.
A quite large menu with a wide selection of greek dishes.
Food however was somewhat uneven.
The saganaki e.g. was too sweet.
The sausages did not taste very much at all.
The check landed at @ €53 for three persons, a kilo of wine included.
We had a pleasant dinner but it stayed there.
There are certainly better restaurants in Paleros, Skamnia for example.
