FAROS tou Panteli-Fish tavern
In the enchanting Karavostasi of Mani, where the rocky slopes end in turquoise waters and time seems to flow more slowly, the fish tavern Faros has been a dominant presence since 1987. A family business that has taken deep roots in the place and the hearts of its visitors, offering not just food, but a complete culinary experience full of tradition, deliciousness and authenticity. Here, every dish tells a story – the gastronomic history of Mani, made with simple, pure ingredients and overflowing passion.
FAROS stands out because it manages to uniquely balance the freshness of the sea and the austere delicacy of the Mani land. Freshly caught fish, squid, grilled octopus, shrimp and shellfish arrive at your table, all cooked with respect for the raw material, without unnecessary flourishes, so as to highlight their authentic flavour. At the same time, lovers of good meat will discover juicy Mani sausages, pork with orange, rooster in wine, traditional stews and roasts of the hour, all cooked with the famous local olive oil and the aromatics of the region.
What makes the difference, however, is not only the food. It is the feeling of being in a home. FAROS remains a firmly family business, with the owners and their children actively participating in every aspect of its operation. From the selection of raw materials and cooking, to serving and personal contact with each guest, everything is done with love, kindness, and genuine Mani hospitality.
Overlooking the harbour and the quiet waters of Karavostasi, the atmosphere is enchanting at any time of the day. Whether you enjoy an ouzo with meze in the midday sun or dine under the light of candles and the lighthouse that gave its name to the tavern, the experience remains unforgettable. It is no coincidence that those who visit FAROS once return again and again, bringing friends and memories with them.
FAROS in Karavostasi is a haven of flavours, tradition, and authenticity, which has kept Mani cuisine alive for almost four decades and offers a delicious embrace to every traveller looking for something genuine.
