Medusa is, in my opinion, the best restaurant in Plakias. A family owned and run Taverna with mum (Despina) in the kitchen, dad (Babbis) front of house and the children (Nikos and Costas) (plus girlfriends) waiting tables.

With it being set back from the sea front road they don't get the passing trade others on the front do. Maybe they have to try harder with their food to compensate for this and I think it may also have an effect on their prices which I'm sure would be higher if they were in a better position. So...

I had the spicy pork which was delicious but very rich as it is finished with cream (my fault for not reading the menu properly).

The food was good but not as good as we read in the reviews. Nice service, very few vegan options, the aubergine (eegplant) salad was delicious. My partner had a lmab koftna and he thought it was a bit too dry.
