Has moved from a side street to the sea front and is renamed the Sea View.Nikos who is always smiling is there to welcome everyone and give advice. Visited on five occassions as the food was very good. The mixed grill for two at just 27 euros was excellent value. And of course there is always the complimentary drink at... More

That latter part was unexpected from a nicer, sit-down restaurant. Sure, we expect to pay cash at a gyro stand, but a larger cash bill was just inconvenient for travelers in a foreign country. The service was friendly, but slow. My wife had moussaka, which was not bad, though not great. They were out of two lamb dishes I wanted... More

Fabulous food, all freshly prepared, decent prices, friendly atmosphere, again nothing was too much trouble. Compare that to some of the other restaurants, which employ "high pressure" salesmen.

This place is easily overlooked as it is surrounded by bigger restaurants with pushy PR people trying to hustle you into their establishments. However, i would suggest you ignore all these places and head into Byzantio. It was recomended to us by fellow guests and staff at our hotel. You can stop outside the restaurant and take your time looking... More

The food we had here was nice but it was a long wait for our main courses (which is good as it means it's fresh) so if we went back I'd order a starter

Fabulous little restaurant.......only small so can easily be missed as it is tucked in between too larger restaurants. Fabulous food and the Slovakian lady who owns and serves is so friendly! We are only sorry we found this restaurant at the end of our holiday but we can highly recommend it!

We paid a visit at Byzantio Restaurant due to the great reviews from tripadvisor. We wanted to try the famous Kleftiko, but we were disappointed that the table next to us had ordered the last one, although we were there around 9 in the evening, which is quite early for greeks to eat dinner :(. The food was great and... More

I have read all the reviews on this website and I must agree. Its total gem in Kamari. Waitrees speaks three languages. Sorry for... More

We were having a look at the menu & were beckoned in by some customers sitting by the door who said how good the food was. They were right, the food's delicious & the lady who served us was so friendly. We had the saganaki & the stuffed vine leaves to start, lamb Kleftiko & pork Souvlaki for main. Really... More

We visited Byzantio after reading some good reviews and were not disappointed! Service was friendly and attentive. House wine was good quality and it was put in the cool until we needed to refill our glasses. We ate Byzantio chicken and kleftiko and both were great. Value was also good. We paid much more for some far worse dinners and... More
