Stou Sofokli

wonderful taverna in the village of Kissos. The food is very tasty, with a rich menu full of local dishes. The owner is lovely and will host you warmly. Fun atmosphere. Highly recommended!

What a unique find in the middle of the mountains. Food DELICIOUS. Welcomed with open arms by Eleni as if an extension of her family. Worth the winding drive

review Our plans for the day in Agios Ioannis had fallen through so we decided to head up to Kissos to see what was there and get some lunch. Stou Sofokli Taverna looked nice so we went in to be greeted by the owner Eleni. There was only one other person in at the time (we have lunch earlier than Greeks!) and we got a nice table outside with a bit of a breeze and nice view. It was terribly hot and humid at the coast so this was a nice relief. We were offered some tsipero with a grape in which was very tasty and ordered a small salad (she does half portions of most things which is a great idea) a half portions of Greek salad and gigantes and a pork souvlaki with chips, all to share. All the food was great and we had some nice barrel wine with it. The olive oil in the salad was lovely and the feta really tasty which is not the case in every place. We love gigantes and these were great. Sauce and oil were mopped up with nice bread. The pork was a single large skewer but all meat and very nice. I’m afraid that my picture of the food is not very good as we’d eaten most of it :) Eleni is a very interesting lady and told us of her travels and also gave us great information on what to see in and around the village (in particular the lovely old church which unfortunately was closed). We were also offered some lovely hazelnut cake. We were worried that our day was going to be wasted as our previous plans had fallen through but actually we had a lovely time is Kissos with a great meal and the best hospitality you could hope for. A lucky find! She also sells some clothes in a little ‘shop’ at the back of the taverna and has rooms upstairs which would make a lovely place to stay away from the heat on the coast. Highly recommended!

Wonderful restaurant in Kissos. The food was delicious - lots of local dishes and specialities, with a daily menu of specials. Eleni is a fantastic and warm host and gave us recommendations for what to order, all of which were perfect. We loved to hear her stories about her family history in the local area. The view is also lovely - a perfect atmosphere at night. We will be back!

The best tavern in Pilio, in beautiful Kissos village- a place you should not miss. Here I had the best food in East Pilio. Excellent service, and best of all- if you cannot decide what to order - the beautiful and kind owner Eleni will give you recommendations … and guess what - half portions are also an option - so you can order more things and just enjoy this amazing Greek food. Just amazing!
