Kaleris — Restaurant in Municipality of Kythira

This is a great place to dine, in a lovely beach setting, as per the view last night.

After many visits in 2023, the food is of a consistently high quality and delicious in summer 2023. Kaleris is serving the best fava (yellow split pea puree) on the island. I keep forgetting to take a photo as we dive in. The traditional salad/παραδοσιακή is a firm favourite, with grilled manouri cheese, also the little spinach pies, the saganaki, with or without sausages, and if the chef's mother's courgette pie is on the menu as one of the daily extras, don't miss it. A good place for vegetarians!

I'm not reviewing meat or fish as I don't eat them, but they look great. Portions are generous.

You definitely need to book in high summer and service can be a little slow because food is prepared to order and the quality is well controlled, but it's worth it.

The front of house team is welcoming, hard-working and efficient.

Kaleris could add a few nice bottles of wine, to complement their delicious food, now that there's a business importing a range of great Greek wines...

Kaleris is one of the best restaurants on KYTHERA. To dine here it is an experience! The food created by Chef Ioannis is exquisite. His creative genius produces dishes that are traditional and cutting edge Greek cuisine. For example the squid risotto is delicious.It was like eating the essence of Greece in a spoonful. The home made moussaka and stuffed vegetables are made with love. The salads are so fresh and flavourful. In short, EVERYTHING on the menu is a delight to eat and share with friends. Kaleris restaurant is located in the best position in the seaside village of Agia Pelagi , right by the beach. The staff are most welcoming and helpful and the service is excellent. I highly recommend Kaleris restaurant, you will definitely make a beautiful and tasteful memory of Greek summer...

Delicious food, quick service, even with a full restaurant, big enough portions... What else to ask for. We came for dinner at a full restaurant, but our food came in 5 min after ordering (starters) and only a few minutes after our mains. Had a delicious eggplant dip (WOW!) and meatballs as a starter, which was absolutely delicious. Our mains were a platter of steamed mussels, which was definitely surprising, but delicious, and pastizio, as well absolutely fantastic. We really enjoyed our time, the service was polite and kind, the place has a beautiful view during the day, the evening is very moody with candlelight and sounds of sea. We really like the plates too 😁 (ceramics enthusiasts here...). All in all, a great...
