Samos Greek Tavern is a Greek taverna on Sheraton Road, at Elarosa Square in the Sakkala district of Hurghada, on Egypt's Red Sea coast. The venue is listed as open 24 hours, which makes it one of the few places in Hurghada where a hot meal is available at any time, from late-night arrivals after airport transfers to early-morning diners before dive trips. The menu follows Greek tradition, with gyros, moussaka and grilled octopus as the signature dishes.

Samos Greek Tavern is a Greek taverna on Sheraton Road, at Elarosa Square in the Sakkala district of Hurghada, on Egypt's Red Sea coast. The venue is listed as open 24 hours, which makes it one of the few places in Hurghada where a hot meal is available at any time, from late-night arrivals after airport transfers to early-morning diners before dive trips. The menu follows Greek tradition, with gyros, moussaka and grilled octopus as the signature dishes. Gyros are served as a quick, filling meal, moussaka offers the layered aubergine and minced meat casserole familiar from Greek home cooking, and grilled octopus brings the Mediterranean flavour of the sea. Mains cost roughly EGP 250-550 (about $5-11), among the more affordable sit-down options in Sakkala. The dining room is informal, with resort-casual dress, and the location on a busy main road gives it a steady flow of holidaymakers, residents and taxi drivers at all hours. With a rating of about 4.4 out of 5, visitors generally speak well of the venue. Reservations are not normally required: walk-ins are usually fine, and groups of six or more should book by phone or through the venue's Google Maps listing. Because Sheraton Road is one of Hurghada's main hotel and shopping streets, the tavern is easily reached on foot from nearby hotels and by inexpensive taxi from other districts. Visitors who prefer quieter dining may choose off-peak hours in the afternoon or late at night, when the room is calmer. The all-hours schedule makes Samos a practical fallback when other restaurants have closed, and the Greek menu offers variety for those who have tired of Egyptian and seafood dishes.
