Gibraltar

Pelion Peninsula


Having started out feeding the local shipbuilders, this veteran taverna, 1.5km south of Milina, now forms part of the appealing Marianthi Studios lodging complex. Locals and visitors appreciate its good Greek fagito (food), usually including two or three daily specials, as well as wine and tsipouro 'from our vineyard'.
