Methexis is my favorite restaurant in the village of Paleochora. Good food, cooked lovingly.
Paleochora has to my knowledge around 45+ restaurants. Most of these serve greek cuisine and has reasonable large menu’s and good/correct pricing. Of these and from those I have tried the clear favorite of mine is Methexis.
Somewhat simpler presented and less photogenic than Sto Scolio, Methexis is a wonderful classic restaurant. The kitchen every day creates tender slow cooked dishes using fresh local ingredients.
Come early because later it will be sold out.

I think this is now the most popular restaurant in the area. Always full and reservations required I will recommend it should you be in Paleochora. The brothers Andreas and Nektarios run an effecient, super friendly and generous front of the house. a house which is also opened in winter when the tourists like us stay home in our offices in the north.
Special mention must go to both the goat, lamb and the house salad – simple and delicious.
Thanks for having us 🙂
