Karnagio

The Greek tavern Karnagio and Pita tou Riga. The food is excellent, the staff is very friendly and the atmosphere idyllic. The unique flavours and nights with live Cretan music have established Karnagio and Pita tou Riga as one of the best dining options in Agios Nikolaos.

Very nice food, great location, helpful stuff ! You should definitely try beloniasto with chicken and lemon sauce and mix meat plate. Be aware that the portions are quite large so order with caution!

Food is huge and delicious. I had a gyro pitta for €3.50 which could comfortably have fed 2 people. I brought half of it home. Ask for help with the menu as it's a little light on details.
