Taverna Drosia

Pelion Peninsula


Beside the main road at the north end of the village, this restaurant is an extension of the family's house, and is one of the few places in Pinakates that’s open all year. Look for Pelion favourites such as baked goat and spetsofaï (stewed pork with peppers), with good local wine always on hand.
