The Story Of Thalassa Since It’s Inception.
Thalassa in Greek mythology known as the primeval spirit of the sea was more like a dream come true for Mariketty Grana who wished she could give India a taste of authentic Greek food. Food is something she was fascinated with since childhood as her father ran a restaurant in Corfu. A trained chef, she brings in her family recipes to serve the best of Greek food and she does not compromise on the ingredients used either. Thalassa has changed the way the world perceives Goa and introduced the city to authentic Greek mediterranean cuisine & hospitality that’s complete with a beautiful dining experience.

Mariketty & her son Spiro came to India when he was less than a year old. Her entry into the food & hospitality scene started at the Arpora Flea market where she would sell some great Greek delicacies. She went on to start Thalassa in 2006 & is now one of the most adored restaurants in Goa.

What Our Customers Say
Went to this place for evening meals and it was amazing. It give you the experience as if you are sitting in a ship. Very well maintained, nicely decorated and always full of decent crowd. Food we ordered was great. One can see Sunset while having food and for this reason, I would say reaching there around sunset time is the best option.
A Greek styled extremely popular bar and restaurant in Vagator is a must visit. Book your table at least a fortnight before especially for the evening slot. See the sun setting while enjoying your drinks and then see the floor shows which take place one after the other. It’s an altogether different experience!!
Loved it!!! The ambiance was too good, food was good and so were the drinks (we had mocktails, cocktails and beer). Only wish we had gone there during non-rainy seasons… the view was spectacular but because of the monsoons the place was covered up and we couldn’t get a sea-side table…
