Where to Eat in Samothraki

Samothraki offers a mix of traditional tavernas and casual spots for all tastes and budgets. The island’s signature dish is slow-cooked goat (“katsikaki”) — tender, rich, and absolutely worth trying. You’ll find it in most tavernas, often served with local sides and a laid-back vibe. In Therma, cozy tavernas line the village, serving fresh seafood, grilled meats, and vegetarian options, while a few fast-food joints offer gyros, souvlaki, and crepes for a quick bite.

Prices are generally friendly: snacks and fast food range from €3–6, budget-friendly tavernas around €8–12 per person, mid-range meals go for €15–20, and seafood or specialty dishes can be €20–25+.

During the intensive seminar, you’ll also have access to breakfast at Mariva at a special friendly price — a nice way to start the day before diving into the program.

We’re also setting up a shared kitchen near the camping area, with basic cooking gear, utensils, spices, coffee, and some communal food supplies. Feel free to contribute — the idea is to cook and enjoy meals together, hang out, and maybe even experiment with local ingredients.

As we get closer, we’ll share specific tavernas and restaurants we recommend, and there’s a good chance we’ll organize some joint dinners too.
