The 14 best shopping and stores in Pylos-Nestor

Fantastic experience. Hospitable staff, the food was simply delicious, fresh (by far, the best grilled octopus I’ve had). Lovely ambiance and views from their terrace overlooking the blues of the sea . I highly recommend this place!

One must visit this amazing beach when visiting this area. Crystal clear water,sandy beach, amazing restaurant where you could have food and drinks.

We visited the beach a few times and stopped at the restaurant a few times, had a few drinks and ice creams with the children and the staff was amazing every time. We've also used their car park a couple of times, everyone was lovely and helpful. It has an amazing view as well.

We had the most Wonderful day!! The food, the atmosphere, the beach, and the service were so amazing. A great destination for a whole day trip or a couple of hours of fun in the sun!! We were truly happy with everything!

A really great restaurant right on the beech. There was a good variety of food on the menu from classic Greek dishes pasta. All the waiting staff were extremely well dressed in white linen shirts and friendly.

Amazing beach and amazing taverna - highly recommend their meatballs and Dakos salad.

Great food and amazing view to the sea.

The first dishes and salads were excellent, very fresh and tasty. Unfortunately, the main courses were below average and a bit disappointing. That said, the service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly. The atmosphere was charming, located in a quiet alley, which made it quite pleasant. Overall, I would visit again, but next time I’d take a closer look at the cooked dishes before ordering.

Nothing really special and an easy to forgot choice. Food and portion's are OK, Greek gemista ware very good, but even pork souvlaki wasn't easy to chew. They support a rather difficult to understand policy where they prefer to offer the rather hot on the pavement tables and not the more airy ones in the aisle. We asked them if it was possible to split a three in the row table in order to use only two tables and they replied that it was only for a seven people group, that actually never showed up. A welcoming restaurant should always offering the best available space for it's customers. A rather rude behaviour.

After exploring Methoni Castle we stopped by Nikos Tavern for lunch. It was a wonderful experience! We were invited to the kitchen to view the freshly made options and chose stuffed green peppers and bread for a starter (heavenly!). We then had sardines and a mousaka - which were both super delicious! The atmosphere is very authentic and the service is friendly. Definitely recommend going here for lunch!

Must say that the food was good however the service really needs improvement they are usually packed during peak hours and in my opinion under staffed we ordered a saganaki which looked more and tasted more like mozzarella sticks my plate of spaghetti with shrimp was good but arrived before the appetizer and long before my wife’s stuffed bifteki I asked the waiter who took the order that we would decide what wine we wanted when the food arrived well that never happened after he took the order he never came back to our table totally unacceptable don’t think we’re going back

Our dinner at Nikos was a delightful journey through the flavors of Greece. From the traditional dishes to the warm and welcoming atmosphere, it was an evening to remember. The top-notch service added the perfect touch to a fantastic dining experience.

Having visited Methoni regularly over the last 25 years, sampling all the tavernas in this great little fishing port in the southwest corner of the Peloponnese, we can say with confidence that Nicos is still our favourite and simply the best. Truly Greek, open all year, with a wide-ranging menu, great service and daily specials to be inspected in the kitchen. The saganaki was lightly fried to perfection and the welcome extra touches included tasty taramasalata with fresh bread before the meal arrived and delicious little sweet pastries when we thought that all was done. We have left Methoni now with memories of good food and a determination to return.

Absolutely awful experience. The service is painfully slow — by the time your food arrives, you’ve forgotten what you ordered. To make things worse, they randomly bring items you never asked for (like bread) and then have the audacity to charge you for them. The place is loud, chaotic, and the chairs are so uncomfortable you’ll be shifting in your seat the entire time. Avoid it if you value your time, money, or spine.

Great home cooked meals. Super taste and presentation. Lamb chops were grilled perfectly and spiced on the money. Great recommendations from the staff.

A beautiful setting for my special birthday meal with an exquisite sunset. A well balanced Prosecco accompanied superbly fried gavros, delicious horta and average mixed veg. The moussaka was a tasty bake but lacked the authentic flavours of a real one. Service was erratic with a long wait after serving the wine and then a rush with all the dishes - the starter and the main- arriving together. Pleasant enough bouzouki background music was displaced by the 40s singing next door. All in all, a quirky end to a lovely day.

Very tasty food. Excellent service. Great view. Very nice atmosphere. 100% will come back here again, and try something else from the menu. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous setting watching the fish in the sea, fantastic gigantes, beetroot salad was delicious also, highly recommend

Family run business with awesome food. The octopus melted in our mouths and we had the seafood pasta which was delicious with plenty of salsa to mop up!! The best in town

We ate fresh fish selected from the fridge standing at the entry of the restaurant. The fish was very good, local fish, very well cooked and with Greek salad and potatoes. The personal was very kind and the place is fantastic, you really have dinner to the border of the sea. To come back.

Food was ok. We ordered 2 different soups, fish and chicken, but they tasted the same because their base was the same! See pics. The beef patties were ok, as were the fries. The seafood platter for 4 looked good. I served next-door a table. See pic. Ample seafood and variety. The service was excruciatingly, slow, despite the fact that there were a few customers.

We had a lovely meal here on their gorgeous patio! The Greek salad and the carrot and cabbage salad were both fresh and flavorful, and the gigantes (beans) were savory and filling. My wife and I are American and speak no Greek, but we were well taken care of very well and had no issues communicating with the staff. The whole meal was very inexpensive, and the quality of the food was well above the price point by our standards. Bonus appreciation for the friendly neighborhood cats who hang out and greet you hopefully when your food arrives!

Best moussaka in Koroni, lovely place to eat. Not on the front but the food on the front restaurants is mediocre as they trade on the view. If you want good Greek traditional food you won't go wrong here and its at a very good price. We had 3 main courses and a litre of wine for €54

If you enjoy good, fresh Greek food, this is not the place for you, pleasant though it appears to be. Nothing you eat here is freshly cooked. It is either pre-cooked, heated up and presented tepidly at your table or has been pre-cooked and sitting in a display cabinet for you to select from. Don’t expect service of the normal kind other. With only two serving staff and 50 guests, personal attention is out of the window. If you value good food and service, you are advised to look elsewhere.

Bogris 2 is a true gem in Koroni! This charming taverna is tucked right by the harbor and has a warm, relaxed atmosphere that makes you feel at home instantly. The food tastes homemade and authentically Greek – classic comfort dishes that are well-prepared, flavorful, and made with love. Everything we tried was of high quality, and you can tell the ingredients are carefully chosen. The service was friendly and personal, and the whole place radiates pride and heart. After trying several restaurants in the village, we can honestly say that Bogris is our favorite – definitely worth a visit if you’re in Koroni!

Lovely courtyard setting. A large choice of cooked food and freshly grilled meats and fish. We ordered greek salad (with a very generous slab of feta) and tzatziki (was freshly made and delicious). All portions are very generous. We ordered moussaka and stuffed pepper and tomato from the cooked menu (ask the waiter to check what is available, not everything on the printed menu is available) . Moussaka was very fluffy and light with a gentle nutmeg flavour. Stuffed pepper and tomato (dolmades) were full of soft and flavoursome rice. From the grill, the stuffed meatball (with feta) was outstanding, came with large portion of hand cut chips. Lamb cutlets were sizzling and juicy from the grill, also accompanied by a portion of chips. The house white wine is a great accompaniment. Order the small jugs if you do not want it to get warm! All in all, highly recommend this place. Just be prepared to take it easy as the locals do, there were only two waiters working very hard but if it is a busy night you may need wait a little bit. Totally worth it though!

Waited for 15 minutes for menu and no drinks were ordered or offered. So decided to leave- owner ( I’m guessing) simply said they were full ( not correct less than half) and it was up to us if we didn’t wish to wait so long. Disappointed attitude - went elsewhere for an excellent meal.

Best restaurant in Koroni! If you are in Koroni don’t think twice, Bogris 2 is the place to go for a great dinner.

The umbrellas at the beach are no longer free, I am sure it's no fault of the owner as there's great demand and people make reservations. However there is space to bring your own as they haven't covered the entire beach (++ on that). The beach is very nice, shallow and sandy, warm waters. Small bar a few stairs up and a very nice restaurant with parking space and a great view above, with a lift to get down and up, if you want to avoid the wooden stairs. Great experience overall. I suggest calling ahead.

Variety of choices for brunch, lunch, dinner etc. Excellent food with unique view of the messinian gulf. Access to the beach using elevator is quite an experience. Very well organised with large parking area. Avoid during week 15th of August due to narrow road and it gets crowded. All other days are fine.

We stayed at the beach we paid 15 € for the sunbeds in front of the sea. We had a lunch at the restaurant the view was amazing and the food musaca was very good. There is a parking also by the restaurant.

Great view fantastic food and a beautiful beach to go with the experience. Ample parking too. A must if you are in the area.

Came here for lunch and it was lovely. We walked up from the beech. The view out across the see is extremely enjoyable. The menu had lots of different options, including a big range of fish. Everything was very reasonable in price. What was particularly nice here was that you were given time to eat your starter and has a pause before the main course. All the other restaurants we ate at brought the mains about 5mins after the starter. When we asked for the bill we were brought a complimentary plate to fruit which was extremely tasty.

+ Excellent beach! Good service! Adequate products quality! - A bit overrated prices + the extra charge for the sunbeds. You can sit on the morning... drink coffee... eat brunch ... enjoy beers... order lunch from the restaurant ... and then finish with some cocktails... Perfect for families, you literally can spend all your day in the sea.

This tavern is proof that you don’t need to go far in terms of creativity to craft the best Greek dishes – simple, authentic, and made with high-quality ingredients. We were delighted to discover this place where true Greek hospitality meets traditional cuisine, free from unnecessary twists or pretentious attempts at “innovation.” The location, with its uninterrupted sea views, is an ode to simplicity and minimalistic beauty, perfectly complementing the food and atmosphere. The complimentary plate of local seasonal fruits at the end of the meal is a lovely touch and a real bonus. Well done, guys – keep it up!

Lovely beach for kids, gentle slope with beach restaurant, toilets all nearby. Also has sunbeds and parasols for hire, 7 euro, and beach shower

Ordered pizza. Took over an Hour and tasted frozen. Basic Beach bar resto. Just order the basics if you have to from here. The service at the beach chairs is very good tho. Great staff there.

Very beautiful sandy beach In summer sunbeds , umbrellas and beverages available. Bit tricky to find, after the minimarket where you might want to ask for the way... its 50 m then to the right...

Quiet beach with beautifull blue water

Nice beach but walk a bit south to find more space and clear water

Nice!

The worst scampi I've ever tasted...

In the first week of August, we visited with family and friends. The tavern, situated about 15 minutes from the main central road via a winding route. Despite being quite crowded (as expected for the season, making parking challenging), we secured a table. The food was generally very good, ranging from appetizers and salads to main courses. Our orders consisted primarily of beef dishes and pasta for the children. The beers, served in chilled glasses, were particularly noteworthy. Prices were also fair. So if you visit tsapi beach is a very good option to have your lunch there.

Typical greek tavern by the sea!! Nice place beachfront, with greek summer dishes!!

After six meals of our lunch and dinner we were not able to decide which one was the best. All of them were the extraordinary home-made quality. Make sure to stop by.

The beef (burger) was really tasty and the prices were reasonable. Everyone was kind. The only thing I would like the owner to improve is the toilet. It could be a little bit cleaner. In general, I totally recommend the place!

One of the rare finds in Greece, hearty food, great quality and excellent service.

Typical loving Greek cuisine. You sit directly on the beach with a beautiful view of the sea. Price very pleasant and a visit only recommended

Best restaurant in Messini ❤️

Very nice restaurant, pretty good Italian food, friendly staff, prices are adequate as for the location, view is amazing. Overall experience 5/5 would recommend.

friendly service in the off-season - exchange of an ingredient possible without any problems - prices for food in this touristic place in the upper range

Excellent atmosphere and food. Definitely coming back!

I just had a Margarita. If Neapel is known for the best Pizza Margherita world wide, this place may be considered for the worst! Listen my advice and don‘t go there for Pizza . . .

The pasta and the pizza was excellent and the view from the outdoor seating had absolutely beautiful view over the ocean! Good vegetarian options such as the pizza and the tagliatelle pesto! Recommend

Very expensive prices for the quality and services overall. Nothing special. Pizza was like a refrigerated one, pasta was like we're precooked and just heated for servicing to us. Nice seaview thought, but this is not enough.

Worst Pizza ever! Do Not expect anything remotely resembling italian food. Bruschetta comes in cheap burger bread with Pesto. Any real Italien would probably sue the place. The prices are ridiculous. Do yourself a favour and eat anywhere else...

What can I say.. just perfection! The restaurants and food/dessert stores are just incredible. The clothing stores are also amazing! Treated myself to a gorgeous shirt, and I honestly wasn’t sure about it but the sales ladies are amazing at what they do and made me feel gorgeous in it! The location is the agora is also perfect for any W or Mandarin Oriental guests. There’s also parking for those who are not staying at those hotels. All of the staff at the Agora were just incredible. Also the views from this area are just stunning! Cannot recommend enough.

A part of Costa Navarino that is accessible to everyone. You can park in the spacious parking across the roundabout. The place is very beautiful, you can find bars, restaurants, shops and even a cinema. Everything is created to the detail.

The shops offering nice thing The restaurants are nice It’s limited to the hotels visitors so it different filing

One of the best places to see the sunset in the area. Very good restaurants. Live music every day. Open to everybody so it is very crowded. We have visited the Peruvian restaurant in the middle of the Mall. We have been there twice. First time everything was perfect! The service the food everything . Second time we thought that were in another restaurant. Inexperiened service, quite bad food, felt sorry for the 150 euro we paid without enjoying. Anyway overall good experience but personnel should be trained so as the level of service to be the same

Brand new eating and shopping area accessible by the public and resort customers. Had breakfast while we waited to check in. Came later in the afternoon to do more shopping. Area is beautiful and surrounded by water, including bars, shops, and restaurants.

The classiest, prettiest marketplace I’ve ever seen! Beautiful shops, cafes and all the restaurants we tried were amazing

Very nice site to spend time drinking or dining by the sea, with very nice music and environment. (we did not tried any of them, but I could say that there are expensive but also affordable choices), and also spend money since there are many big brand shops. Also there is open air cinema, and a lot of paths to have nice walks, with kids or not, but it seems that as we have been recommended, the site is better visited in the afternoon / evening (for summer visits). Totally a very good place to visit more than once, especially if you are staying in Pylos or Gialova.

Authentic home cooked food. Just what we wanted. Wonderful spinach pies, grilled calamari cooked to perfection with a great salad and superb local cheese. Very prompt and friendly service as well. The view of the harbour is so romantic!

We paused by on our first afternoon for a quick bite and ordered the beans, fried eggplant and calamari. All were fantastic - light crispy batter, not greasy and lovely flavour. We didn’t find better calamari all holiday. We also returned one evening and were equally as pleased with chicken bbq skewers and whole sea bream. The best traditional Greek of the strip in our opinion!

Very nice view on the sea, nice terrasse. Large choice of meals, generous portions, tasty gyros (chicken gyros in the picture). The service could be quicker (although we ordered a grilled octopus, but other tables were a bit slow too), but the staff was polite. Great time!

We ate here many times during our vacation in Koroni and absolutely loved it. The food was truly homemade — comforting and delicious — with fresh hand-cut fries, traditional cooked dishes, and freshly caught fish. Everything tasted authentic and full of flavor, just like a home-cooked meal. We highly recommend this place!

Real good Greek food ! What better than a good Greek salad, sardines, grilled feta cheese ans octopus filet ? Zorbas restaurant, what else !?

great service dont miss original stuffed grape leaves fried sardines and all the rest realy great מומלץ מאוד

Very poor I had pork on a skewer with BBQ sauce Very dry and taste less

They have the best cocktails and alcohol in Koroni. Little bit pricy than others but worth it because drinks are much better than others bars. Music compilation is more than perfect. I would say it’s 30+ selection of music. Staff is super friendly and nice.

Good service and excellent cocktails.

Good music and drinks. It's perfect if you're looking for a bar to chill and enjoy a 🍸

Nice place and people for your coffee and drinks!

Easy listening music

(Translated by Google) Amazing atmosphere, awesome and impressive cocktails, the music and the location make up a very nice summer setting. (Original) Καταπληκτική ατμόσφαιρα, φοβερά κ εντυπωσιακά cocktails , η μουσική κ η τοποθεσία συνθέτουν ένα πολύ ωραίο καλοκαιρινό σκηνικό

(Translated by Google) What can one say about this shop...The place to be.. (Original) Τι να πει κανείς για αυτό το μαγαζί...The place to be..

Amazing shop owner who's very friendly and helps you to pick your souvenirs. Large selection of souvenirs to decent prices! Make sure to get your gifts here!

This souvenir shop in Methoni is an absolute gem! Every item is crafted with meraki, and the owner's passion is evident in every detail. A must-visit spot! 🔆⛵🇬🇷

Very nice souvenir shop with great choice and good quality pieces!

Beautiful and great quality products that are actually made in Greece! ❤️ The best souvenir shop I have ever visited. I will definitely come back again when I will visit Methoni for more gifts, and stuff for myself! Thank you!

One of the best souvenir shops in Greece. There’s something for everyone from hats, sandals and towels to jewelry and art. The owner is friendly too!

A very well supplied shop and an awesome owner willing to recommend and help on any topic! We bought great gifts here, both for us and for our friends and family.

a very nice souvenir shop, where you can also find local traditional treates and local handcrafted products. Mr Dimosthenis is a very polite and helpfull guy and surelly he is a local guide for Methoni! Ask him anything and he will be more than happy to help you ang guide you accordingly.

Small spot, huge vibe! The wine list is super up-to-date and packed with variety- from crisp whites to bold reds and everything in between. It’s amazing how much quality is squeezed into this deli. Bonus: the owners own olive oil is next level.

Simply the best place to buy wine and fabulous olive oil too. We can’t wait to be there as soon as we arrive in Koroni. Gianni is always so generous with his advice

If you are after sound, expert advice on wines from the Peloponnese, and from further afield in Greece and the islands, this is most definitely the place to go to. Yannis offers impeccable, unhurried service, and a comprehensive range of keenly priced quality wines. He also sells organic olive oil from the local variety of olives. A visit to this lovely shop is a real treat!

Kiari Wine and Deli has a small but well curated wine selection and delicious local olive oil. We went in to buy wine and were thankful for the recommendation by the owner. After chatting, we found out the owner has an olive grove and produces the olive oil sold in the shop.

I'm just tasting a wonderful red wine we bought during Easter (Nemea Agiorgitiko 2022) and it's amazing. It made me think about the superb service we got in this deli. What it doesn't have in size it makes up for in knowledge, friendliness, passion and amazing selection. I'll be back 👍

Gianni is so knowledgeable and helpful! We have and are still learning about wonderful Greek wines from him.

The Best Representation of the Greek Vineyard in Messinia!

I love Xristina's ceramic art. She is very talented and her store is really interesting, with really beautiful, selected items of Greek designers.

(Translated by Google) I had been coming down to Koroni for years and found a shop with wonderful handmade jewelry, ceramics and special clothes. I was impressed by the service and the place!!! You rarely find shops like this with a wide variety of long jewelry and I saw that they make silver jewelry with wonderful ideas in the same space. I was very pleased with what I bought and with their service. I will definitely visit again!!!! Thank you for everything, keep up the same love for your shop!!!
