Mylos Square

From the harbour the way leads through the lanes of the Chora. At the edge of the town, Mylos Square opens out. The wall of the Venetian Kastro stands above it, and in front of it lie the bay and the open Aegean.

The white chairs, the blue-and-white checked tablecloths and the string lights above the stones are our small addition to a place that was here long before us.

2018: The Mylos taverna

Before Castello, from 2018, the taverna Mylos ran on Mylos Square.

2023: Castello opens

In 2023 our family opened Castello on the same square, directly beneath the Kastro. Castello is the Italian word for castle, and the name suits a place with one standing above it.

We are the family that has run Vrachos since 2016, the cocktail bar that has operated since 1992, one hundred and eight steps above the port. Castello was the natural continuation: food, music and the same family hospitality.

It is a family business in every sense. At Castello you will find the same people every evening, in no hurry.

The kitchen

We are mainly a taverna of meats and traditional Greek cooking: grills, meze, salads, plates for sharing. We use many of the local products we find, when the season allows. We do not serve seafood.

The menu and its prices change through the season, so you will find it on the table rather than here. If you have allergies or dietary needs, tell us.

The music

Every evening of the season, from May to October, a small band of three musicians plays live at Castello: guitar, bouzouki and double bass. They play traditional Greek songs, at a volume that lets the table talk.

Music up at the Kastro is an old Skopelos habit and we keep it alive. Castello is open every evening from 7 pm to 1 am.
