Discover the hidden treasures of Pelion's cuisine, where superior quality, fresh ingredients are the foundation of every dish.
For centuries, the generous nature of Pelion, combined with cultural influences, has given rise to a refined and unique cuisine that reflects the region's heritage.
From simple raw materials like mushrooms, chestnuts, walnuts, apples, ferns, and herbs, Pelion's chefs create a rich tapestry of flavors and textures that delight the senses. The region's most famous dish is the "spetsofai," made with green peppers and locally-produced Pelion sausage. Other popular dishes include the traditional Pelion bean soup known as "fasolada" and a wide variety of fish and seafood cooked in the oven, frying pan, or on the grill.
At the heart of Pelion's cuisine are its famous salads, including "tsitsiravla" and "kritama," which hold a prominent place at the dinner table. To wash it all down, locals and visitors alike enjoy red wine and the local drink "tsipouro" with anise, both of which perfectly complement the flavors of Pelion's cuisine.
For the dessert lovers, Pelion offers a wide variety of "spoon desserts" that will amaze you with their unique flavors and textures.
