Peroulia

Messinia


Overlooking the teal waters of the gorgeous Peroulia Beach, 6km north of Koroni, this waterfront restaurant has earned a loyal local following for its traditional Greek cuisine and fresh seafood. Fill up with delicious food, then take to a sunlounger to sleep it off to the sound of lapping waves.

The only let down is getting there: you must negotiate your way through narrow roads for a couple of kilometres. Take your time. It's worth it. Follow the signs or phone for directions.
