Taverna Orea Ammoudia

Pelion Peninsula


Spread through the lush foliage towards the southern end of Papa Nero beach, this breezy open-air taverna serves excellent oven-ready mains such as baked cod, plus unusual salads including kritama – tomatoes with sea herbs gathered in small rocky coves. An outdoor bar plies beachgoers with cool drinks and ice cream in summer.
