Gyro gyro oloi:

the ultimate stop for souvlaki in Ithaca

If you’re searching for the true taste of Greece on your plate, there’s one must-visit destination in Ithaca: Gyro Gyro Oloi, the authentic souvlaki joint run by Stelios and Stathis, two locals who blended passion, experience, and love for tradition to create more than just a meal, a culinary experience that brings back the charm of the good old days.

Located on the picturesque harbor of Vathi, with tables overlooking the fishing boats and the peaceful Ionian waters, Gyro Gyro Oloi welcomes both locals and travelers from all over the world every day. The secret? Handcrafted gyro made fresh every morning using carefully selected cuts of meat, aromatic spices, and absolutely no shortcuts. Nothing pre-made, nothing rushed, every bite tells a story.

The menu caters to every craving: juicy souvlaki skewers, mouthwatering pitas, generous portions with crispy fries, freshly chopped salads, delicious appetizers, and complete meal combos with soft drinks or ice-cold beer. All fairly priced, served fast, and with genuine kindness, the kind of warm service that’s just natural in Ithaca. And the best part? This is where the locals eat. Ask any Ithacan where to get the best souvlaki, and the answer is always the same, without hesitation: Stelios and Stathis – Gyro Gyro Oloi!

This is authentic gyro done right, handmade with care in a family-run spot that puts its heart into every dish. The traditional setting and breathtaking view of the harbor create an atmosphere that perfectly blends Greek hospitality with local culture. With honest prices, excellent service, and hearty portions, Gyro Gyro Oloi has become a landmark. And for those who prefer to dine at home, take-away and delivery are available too.
