When you visit the magical and inspiration
region of Pelion in Central Greece, you will find true beauty and
peace. Pelion is a collection of sea, beaches, mountains and picturesque
villages scattered all over the peninsula.
An interesting stop to make in Pelion
is the popular village of Milies. It is a place where you can travel
back through past years and experience the life and tradition of
the old days.
The values and traditions of Milies have been preserved by the people
of the village with love and care over the passing years.
A few meters before you arrive in the main square of Milies, you
will find the famous Salkimi Taverna. With its impressive
and unique wooden exterior and the tempting aromas from the kitchen,
the "Salkimi Taverna" invites you on a journey to sample
the traditional tastes of the old days with the unique cuisine of
Mrs Mygdalio.
The name of our taverna "Salkimi"
is taken from the name of the plant that beautifully decorates the
taverna. We are confident you will not have seen another taverna
as unique as our one.
The delicious cuisine that you will find here
at "Salkimi" is based on a wide selection of traditional
tastes. Some dishes we regularly prepare include fillo pies made
with greens from the mountain, "Hounkiar Beyendi", which
is veal served with mashed aubergine and three different cheeses
cooked the traditional way in a ceramic pot.
Other unique dishes include "Salkimi" which is veal served
with aubergines and courgettes with a brandy and bechamel sauce,
and "Koupaki" which is potatoes and mushrooms served with
creme fresh and and three different types of cheese.
The selection of home made cuisine you will find available will
intrigue your taste buds and introduce you to a completely new and
unique spectrum of tastes and dishes.

We have a very nice selection of local wines
and tsipouro to compliment your meals here at the "Salkimi
Taverna", and help you to truly experience your magical Greek
moments.
Many of the meals and dishes that you will find available here at
our tavernas are based on recipes from Smyrni (Ismir) in Mikro Asia
on the South Turkish coast on the Aegean sea, during the old years
when there was a large Greek colony.
During the summer season, the "Salkimi Taverna"
is transformed into a traditional Pelion balcony, offering you coolness
and beautiful and inspiring views towards the village and the surrounding
nature.
At our taverna, you can enjoy some unique home
cooked meals, traditional tastes and a very friendly and polite
service in a unique and pleasant environment. We look forward to
welcoming you to our taverna in the near future for a meal you and
your taste buds will never forget.
