Avli, meaning “courtyard” in Greek, is one of Malia’s most established and professionally run Greek restaurants. Owned by Mike and Vasso, it has grown over the years from a traditional courtyard restaurant into a large and welcoming dining venue with several indoor dining rooms, ground-floor seating, a rooftop terrace and additional space across the road.

The restaurant is known for high-quality Greek food, a well-organised kitchen team and consistently professional service. With around seven or eight chefs working behind the scenes, Avli has the scale and experience to serve both busy summer evenings and its loyal local clientele throughout the winter.

Whether you are looking for a relaxed Greek meal in the courtyard, dinner on the rooftop, or a table for a larger group, Avli offers a polished yet authentic dining experience in the centre of Malia.
