To Perivoli

Skopelos


In a graceful, secluded garden-and-terrace setting just west of Plateia Platanos, Perivoli delivers excellent Greek specialities such as cheese-stuffed courgette, seafood pasta, shrimp saganaki and rolled pork with koromila (local plums) in wine sauce, plus fine wines. Herbs and vegetables are home-grown, and service is excellent. Book ahead in summer!
