At “Gyros Nikiti”, you’ll discover the perfect summer hangout — from freshly made gyros wraps to flavour-packed burgers and ice-cold beers — offering the ideal stop for laid-back lunches and relaxed evening meals by the sea. Located right on Nikiti’s seafront promenade, beside the waves and the lively summer stroll, this much-loved grill house has managed to preserve the authentic spirit of a traditional Greek souvlaki spot while evolving its menu to suit every taste, blending timeless classics with more modern favourites.

With the irresistible aroma of the grill tempting passers-by from afar, “Gyros Nikiti” has long been a favourite meeting point for both locals and visitors to the village.

Antonis Tsamourlidis, who has been running the business for the past six years, together with his team, focuses on three key ingredients: quality produce, generous portions, and quick, friendly service — whether you’re stopping by for a proper meal or simply enjoying a refreshing cold beer to escape the summer heat.

From traditional gyros to creative gourmet burgers

The gyros remains the undisputed star of the menu — and for good reason, as it is the restaurant’s signature speciality. Perfectly grilled, crisp on the outside and wonderfully juicy throughout, it’s one of those unforgettable summer flavours in Nikiti that visitors keep coming back for.

Naturally, the menu includes all the staples of authentic Greek street food: souvlaki skewers, chicken skewers, grilled beef patties, soutzoukakia, and a full range of grilled favourites. Whether you’re after a quick bite after the beach or a more leisurely dinner with friends, there’s something to suit every occasion and appetite.

Alongside the traditional flavours, you’ll also find more contemporary creations, including a classic cheeseburger, a gourmet burger topped with truffle mayonnaise, rocket leaves and kasseri cheese, as well as the restaurant’s indulgent signature “Hellboy” burger, featuring two 180g 100% beef patties, crispy bacon and barbecue sauce.

For larger appetites, the towering triple-layer club sandwich with gyros — designed for sharing between two or more people — is guaranteed to deliver a feast of flavours on one spectacular plate.

Summer is a table beside the sea

Fresh seasonal salads and a tempting variety of starters — including bouyiourdi, grilled talagani cheese, crispy cheese croquettes and courgette fritters — create a complete dining experience, while vegan options such as chickpea fritters and falafel cater perfectly to those avoiding meat or simply looking for something different.

And if all you need is a refreshing break during a stroll along the promenade, after shopping, or following a swim, there’s always a table waiting for you to enjoy an ice-cold draught beer, served in chilled small or large beer glasses — something the restaurant takes particular pride in.

The drinks selection also includes “Vasiliki” and “Georgiadi” retsina wines, tsipouro with or without aniseed, and a full range of soft drinks.

After all, what stays with us from our summers? Bold flavours, chilled glasses by the sea, and moments shared from midday sunshine through to sunset. From here, you can enjoy uninterrupted views across the first peninsula of Halkidiki — the beautiful Kassandra peninsula — while the sun slowly disappears over the horizon.

Tip: “Gyros Nikiti” operates from late April until early October, daily from 11:00am until 1:00am.
