AKROGIALI — Restaurant in Municipality of West Mani

One of the best restaurants in Greece I’ve ever tried (and I’ve tried.. MANY!)

The food is of very high quality, the portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh and full of flavour. Every single dish has been prepared with a lot of attention, and tastes amazing. The service is impeccable: fast, a súper friendly staff, and we even got offered a wonderful dessert on the house. And as a cherry on the cake: the view is wonderful, overlooking the sparkling blue sea and the green mountains behind.. a dream!

You’d expect a high bill, for all the wonderful things this restaurant offers.. but no, quite the contrary! The prices are great: we had lunch with 8 people, the table full of dishes, we drank wine and beers, and total of the bill was €120.

If I could, I would eat here every week, unfortunately I don’t live in Greece. But if I come back to visit the area, there’s no doubt I’ll go back to this wonderful restaurant.

If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and go.. you will...

We parked in the upper dirt lot and took a short 15-minute walk to reach the beach just in time for sunset. The beach is nestled in a charming and peaceful fishing village, with a mix of locals and travelers from all over the world. The atmosphere was incredibly warm and nostalgic—children played soccer on the beach, reminding us of simpler times.

We stumbled upon the taverna quite by chance after a day trip to Stoupa. It’s a small fishing village with tavernas and a lovely beachfront promenade. We ordered starters: stuffed vegetables, and feta cheese wrapped in phyllo dough, baked and drizzled with honey and nigella seeds—a delightful dish. We also enjoyed zucchini fritters filled with cheese and a refreshing cocktail. The view of the sunset over the sea made the entire experience truly enjoyable.

We ended the evening with a walk along the promenade, where you’ll find a nice variety of restaurants, cafés, and tavernas offering fresh...

After a long day of exploring, this super restaurant perched on the rocks at the south end of Stupa beach and with a commanding view of its sandy curve, was a very welcome experience.

The service was excellent and the food was brilliant - the zucchini croquettes and prawns with feta in a tomato sauce in particular. We sat outside, but inside the fire was roaring and everything looked very cosy.

Some of the places to eat in Stupa are a little too touristy - nothing bad about that at all, if that's how you roll - but this place, with its table clothes and nice food, is definitely a cut...
