Pierros

Kythira


For almost a century this family-run favourite has been serving no-nonsense staples such as mousakas (layers of eggplant or zucchini, minced meat and potatoes topped with cheese sauce), pastitsio (layers of macaroni and minced lamb), and baked chicken or veal. The main road through Livadi is hardly a beautiful setting, but locals drive from across the island to eat here.

For an authentic Greek experience, it's hard to beat.
