Odysseas

the art of flavour in Frikes harbour

In the heart of the picturesque village of Frikes, where the colors of the Ionian meet the timeless traditions of Ithaca, “Odysseas” Restaurant, owned by Zissimos and Giannis, has become a true culinary destination for those seeking authentic Greek flavors, exceptional quality, and hospitality that lingers long after the meal is over.

From the very first moment you take your seat by the water, beneath the emblematic silver poplar tree, the view of the small harbor and the aroma of freshly prepared dishes instantly transport you into a world where dining is an everyday art.

At Odysseas, the sea and the land come together on your plate in perfect harmony. Fresh lobsters, arriving daily, become the centerpiece of hearty dishes and traditional lobster pastas that have become legendary. The famous fish soup, cooked in the old Ithacan way, warms the soul and captures the pure essence of the sea like no other dish. Local meats, sourced from Anogi and Marmakas, are prepared with skill and love: the oven-baked goat with rosemary, garlic, and wine — the undisputed best seller — melts in your mouth and fills your senses with the aromas of the Ionian.

Tradition is never forgotten: the classic savóro, made with a recipe handed down through generations, is Ithaca’s heritage in every bite. Everything is served with freshly baked local bread, extra virgin olive oil, and a curated wine list featuring select labels that will delight even the most demanding connoisseurs.

It is no coincidence that guests from every corner of Greece return here time and time again.

Here, every meal becomes an experience: the sound of the waves, the scent of herbs, the warm smiles of the owners, and the feeling that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
