The Best Places to Eat Near Amal Kythnos Suites, by the Record

Rank 1. Pelagos
Mediterranean
The terrace at this Michelin-starred restaurant in the Four Seasons Astir Palace faces the Aegean, which sets the table before the food arrives. Chef Luca Piscazzi runs a Mediterranean kitchen with Italian and French threads woven through it, drawing on local ingredients and a career's worth of island-inspired ideas. The tasting menu is the move if you want the full argument, but the à la carte holds its own.

Rank 2. Patio
Modern Greek Mediterranean
The courtyard of a coastal hotel half an hour from Athens, draped in greenery and far enough from the city to feel like a different country. Patio is a tasting-menu restaurant where the chef runs his own farm, and the produce travels accordingly short distances. Modern Greek cooking with serious technique, a Michelin star, and at the end of the meal a pencil embedded with basil seeds, because sustainability should follow you home.

A Neapolitan pizza maker transplanted to the southern suburbs of Athens, far enough from the tourist trail that the room fills with locals who came for a full dinner and stayed for the calzone. This is an Italian comfort-food restaurant where pizza holds its own against dishes from the kitchen and a genuine sense of family hospitality. The dough is Neapolitan in the serious sense, and it landed a spot on 50 Top Pizza Europe.
