The idea was to have a coffee at the casino establishment on top of the mountain enjoying the view. Then we found out that the restaurant serves coffee in an area where there is no view whatsoever.
That is life. We just enjoyed coffee & chat. Without view.
On the way back, only Hubby & I stopped at one of many psistaries lining the road leading up to Parnitha. There are much more restaurants than on the Vari-Kolopi street. Not have any idea which one should be good, we just stopped at the one that looked relatively busy (it was not meal time and no restaurant was really busy).
Peloponnisos.
Curiously, the restaurant did not have paper menu and the items on offer were communicated verbally to us by a waiter. It is a common practice in restaurants in countryside, but it is rare to find this practice in a place where a lot of tourists/visitors. In this sort of restaurant, you don't usually know how much each dish is if you don't ask the waiter explicitly.
Peloponnisos salad (mixed salad with balsamic vinegar), fried potato and tzatziki.
Later we found out salad was 8 Euros (!), tzatziki was 3, and potatoes were 2.50. The salad came in a generous portion, but I did not think it was worth 8 Euros.
Saganali of Talagani cheese, 4 Euros.
We have never seen this cheese before and we liked it very much. Consistency was close to haloumi cheese, but not at all salty and had a very strong milky taste.
Kokoretzi (7 Euros).
I ordered this because I wanted to try and the waiter told me that he could bring me a small portion.
Actually it came in a normal portion and the price was also full.
It was just OK.
Grilled pork chop (8.50 Euros).
Again the meat was very average and the potatoes were so salty that we could not eat.
With a coke and bread, the total bill came to 36.50. Probably OK for the amount we ordered (6 dishes), but we thought that the quality of food was poor for what I paid.
I had an impression that this is just a tourist trap; once trapped, we should learn to avoid.
And a photo of a lovely cat just outside the restaurant.
