A lovely restaurant serving delicious Greek comfort food. The portions are large and they serve good quality food at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend their chicken gyro and pork souvlaki.
West of Kalamata is the agricultural region of Messenia, home to Nestor’s Palace (Odysseus’s house), ancient Messene (an entire classical town) and Voidokilia Beach – a bird-friendly lagoon with flamingos. Stay in old tower houses in Kardamyli.
Palia Agora Restaurant
This restaurant is located in the upper town of Kyparissia and serves quality interpretations of classic Messinian dishes. Its creative staff welcome guests all year round and provide them with fine service. Despite its impressive menu, the prices are affordable, making this a must-visit venue in Messenian.
If you’re looking for a place to eat delicious meals and have a good time with friends or family, then this is the perfect place for you.

This is a good spot to enjoy Greek cuisine and wine.

Stoupa Restaurant
Stoupa is a great town for food with loads of spots backing both Stoupa and Kalogria beaches and in the centre of town. Most of the restaurants are family run and offer tasty Greek cuisine with a modern twist. The pork souvlaki and chicken gyros are especially good here. Prices are reasonable and the outdoor seating is lovely.
If you want to eat more adventurously there are also some really good places in town. Ammos is great for a simple pitta or souvlaki, and To Perasma on the brow of the hill between Stoupa and Kalogria offers grilled meats and fish and a wider menu.
The town is a great place to enjoy the occasional cocktail and there are some really good bars around. Enigma on the cliff overlooking Stoupa beach has a sophisticated vibe, Paralos bar to the left of Kalogria is great for a quick Prosecco-based drink and To Steki and Patriko both have impressive cocktail lists.
