Εσμιγιά ΚΟΙΝΣΕΠ - Esmigia Cooperative — Restaurant in Municipality of Apokoronas

Then a section from the menu including tsatziki, watermelon salad, dakos, meatballs and beef lemonata. Everything was excellent and the shop seems genuinely to have local produce not the mass produced tat in most shops in tourist areas.

The waitress was friendly, they offer coffee, wine, and local craft beers. The wine is locally produced. We were in the early evening but they were setting up for music so 8pm. I'm not sure how often this happens. The produce is part of a local co-op.

As a group of 5 people who shared a bottle of wine, a beer and 6 meze dishes, we paid less than 10€ pp, very good value for money. Couldn't ask for anything more. Very good service as well, more than...
