Mavri Thalassa's wine cellar with over 300 labels is one of the most serious in northern Greece. The list is built for seafood: Assyrtiko, Malagousia, and aged white Xinomavro anchor the Greek selection; white Burgundy and Austrian Gruner represent the European wines.

Glykanisos's wine and spirit programme anchors the restaurant's identity as the finest seafood table in Pylaia. The house tsipouro label Euforikon, distilled from Muscat grapes, is the canonical aperitif here; the Greek white wine list concentrates on minerality and freshness.
