SPPOV: When a hidden gem is more than an address.
Greece’s Mythical Peloponnese is blessed with a bounty of hidden gems.
Gems of the sea and of the mountains. Gems on the plate and in the glass.
But the most valuable gem in Mythical Peloponnese is its people.
Generous, hard-working, and warm-hearted. Genuine in filoxenia, hospitality to guests and strangers.
And oh so inventive in the kitchen.
Paul and I discovered three hidden gems in Kalamata, on the magnificent Messinian Bay:
😋 The best souvlaki in Kalamata
🫶 The nicest couple who make the best souvlaki (and much more)
🌅 The prettiest sunsets on the Messinian Bay
Since 1985, YPERANO dishes up deliciousness on Kalamata’s lively waterfront promenade.
Cristina and Mixalis Georgoulakos own and operate this 3rd-generation family restaurant.
They invest their heart and soul into their commitment to craft and customers. Ingredients are local, seasonal, sustainable, and organic.
The menu, of course, extends far beyond souvlaki.
Just ask Cristina what’s great to eat. She’ll gladly describe in detail all the menu, ouzo, and wine options.
Yperano’s waterfront outdoor seating is the perfect spot for people watching. And for Greece’s spectacular sunsets!
Yperano also offers cozy interior seating, and take-away too, year-round.
Find this delightful restaurant, enjoy the yumminess, and meet its bright gems Mixalis and Cristina at:
