where simple meets the sea

Arodou is where time slows down, flavors deepen, and the sea becomes your soundtrack.

Nestled on the sun-kissed shores of Agios Stefanos in Kythnos, Arodou is more than just a seaside taverna — it’s a heartfelt homage to island life, tradition, and the simple joy of sharing food with good company.

Since opening in 2017 as a small, family-run venture, Arodou has quietly evolved into a beloved destination for travelers from across the world. Here, with the Aegean Sea lapping at your feet and the scent of salt and thyme in the air, you’ll dine next to the sea— a setting so poetic, it almost feels imagined.

Our kitchen is rooted in authentic Greek tradition, driven by the finest local ingredients and fresh catch of the day. Each dish is a journey through Cycladic flavors — honest, fresh, and deeply satisfying.

Let the rhythm of the waves guide your noons and evenings. Our warm and knowledgeable staff will help you choose the best catch of the day, pair it with the right wine, and make sure every moment feels effortless.

Arodou is a place to pause, taste, and truly feel.

We invite you to create beautiful memories, one bite, one sunset, one shared smile at a time.
