PELION MENU

Pelion food is not haute cuisine or Greek light. Most taverns offer heavy village cooking - but vegetarians won’t starve either. You would be unlucky to have a bad or overpriced meal on Pelion. Greek cookery does not require a great deal of skill, and there is no shortage of high-quality ingredients.

Prices, menus and standards are pretty uniform, and you can safely choose a restaurant for its setting - on the seafront or in one of the many flag-stoned village squares under the plane trees.

Most taverns offer local unbottled wines, both red and white, and of course tsipouro!

LOCAL SPECIALTIES INCLUDE :


	White bean soup: just the thing after a bracing walk in the woods
	Tyropsomo: a cheese-bread
	Lahanodolmades: cabbage leaves stuffed with minced meat
	Pie with vegetables and meat
	Spetzofai: a spicy concoction of sausages and green peppers
	Rabbit, and even wild boar!

TSIPOURO: This local spirit is rather like ouzo only far stronger. You may think that, as bright ideas go, "let's make something like ouzo but twice as deadly". It doesn't rate very high, but the locals are remarkably proud of it and will be delighted if you order some. It could be the last thing you remember.
