O Giorgis

About

"O Giorgis" is a family run restaurant in the picturesque village of Melanes. The view from the restaurant to the green valley opposite is breathtaking. The village of Melanes is 7km from the town of Chora and 4km away from "Flerio", the place where the "Kouros" of Melanes was found. Giorgis Xenakis and Marina along with their children run the restaurant which is open every single day of the year. There are a lot of grilled meat options to choose from but a lot of meat cooked in casserole too. Giorgis' signature dish, as a lot of people call it, is the rooster in tomato sauce served with bugatini type pasta. Nevertheless, we suggest choosing different dishes that you can share to taste more than one! Marina also makes traditional fruit preserves. "Teaspoon sweets" as they are called in Greece. They are perfect with yoghurt or ice cream. Do give our taverna a try and we give you a taste of real Greek food and hospitality! Giorgis, Marina, Nikolas and Anna Xenaki
