An integral part of Greek tradition, linked with Greek culture, fish taverns are not simply a restaurant, they are a journey of feelings and emotions. Familiar, laidback atmosphere, great food, pleasant company, and cheerful mood come together and create a simple and at the same time unique experience.

In the heart of Piraeus, the legendary Iperokeanion opened 12 years ago. Andreas Kantsos, the owner – a long-time captain, with origins from Kimolos –, knows the sea. The interior is simple but warm, with some tables, many paintings of steamships, and a lovely little corner with a food display and a scale that looks like an old grocery store.
