It’s a really nice beach for the area to say the least. Has a few cafe and resto bars along the beach that offer chair and umbrella rentals along with food and drinks as well. I definitely recommend a visit here if in this local area.

We've been to five beaches around this area, and this was our favorite so far. The water was very clean and clear, the tiny pebble beach was easy to walk on, and the slope was perfect into the water. Trees to park under for shade and a shower to rinse off. The loungers were clean, well kept, and comfortable but cost money to use. We felt it was worth the cost. We will be back!

Long, small pebbly, with all amenities necessary. Very good option if in the area

Great beach with lounge chairs and service. Nice clean water. Beach drops off into the deep very quickly so if you can't swim be careful as I saw no lifeguards.

Beautiful beach in the morning, in the afternoon there are a lot of waves, in the evening it is the same without waves and calm. There are a lot of rocks on the side, nice for diving, there are fish and shells.

One of the most beautiful sandy long beaches with crystal clear water of Peloponnese, is Mavrovouni beach near the town of Gytheion. Among other is a perfect place for 'wind riders' as many Wind surfers or Kite surfers are visiting this place for the strong winds !

Beautiful beach. "Sandy" beach (I.e. tiny pebbles! Not great with family (kids) as it gets deep quick, and when we arrived, waves were pretty big and did not feel comfortable! Apparently, turtles nesting on this beach, which would be cool to see (we did not). Assuming no info on rip currents means there are none despite large waves! Vist morning as wind picks up in afternoon!!

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful spot, with a large park-grove for walks (not so neat, but in Greece what is?) in the sea with some places accessible for swimming, although with a rock, nice shop for food and drink, very nice view of the picturesque Gytheio and the (probably recently restored) lighthouse of Gytheio is very beautiful. + Free municipal parking at the entrance of the island, which is needed after a certain time.

The building is beautiful, situated on a peninsula in Gytheio. One can park the car nearby. The museum was closed when visited.

Another place.. another tower… very interesting building.. but as usual for the town of Githio closed.. when they will understand that these places must be open… maybe because they just want the tourist just to eat at the restaurants and drink coffee.. nothing else.. or maybe not… we will never get an answer for this

If Google information is correct it is open Saturday and Sunday 0800 - 1600. Looked interesting and well preserved from outside......Well no, I went back at 8.30am Sunday 14th July 2019 and it's all locked up!.I just met a local who was checking security and it's been closed 6 years.

Really nice place with a beautiful building. The view of Gythio is awesome.

Impressive castle but the museum was closed on Sunday morning.

It was closed on a Thursday morning, of course we could visit the building outside

We were unsure of what this place was and unfortunately it was closed as well.

We were there two times for late breakfast (brunch). The location is rather nice beneath the sea, there are places in the sun (if it's shining) and in the shadow as well. The French Toast was tasty but lacked cinnamon (rather sad for me as I love cinnamon). The walnuts which came with it tasted a bit old. The mani omelett was really delicious as was the savoury pancakes. The super bowl is hardly a bowl but more or less only yogurt with very little fruit. It came with walnuts instead of the stated paranuts (again sad for me as I love paranuts as well). The yogurt (super bowl) and the pancakes were the same price which is not really justifiable. So in total I would recommend eating here if one is not restricted to vegetarian food as this might not be their strength.

It has a lovely little terrace brunch. If you get there early, it is very quiet with no trouble to park. The food was exceptional. I plan to return to try more of the menu.

Really, really love this place ❤️ Great food, great service, the sweetest staff and great atmosphere. A jewel amongst all the Classical Greek restaurants. Original and tasty recipes based on the Italian kitchen. The fungi were terrific, as well as the risotto. And that with a view to die for and fantastic deserts on the house. Thank you so much for two lovely evenings, we hope to be back some day soon!!

Too expensive, the quality of both food and drinks is just regular, the stuff has not been polite any of the times I have been there. I give it 3 stars only because it is in Gytheio, therefore has a nice view and because it is beautifully renovated.

We tried this restaurant for dinner and were very disappointed. The view is beautiful and the waitress was friendly but the food was way below expectations, we did not finish our plates. Also, there is no English menu (Greek only).

Alternative traditional cuisine! Exceptional tastes! Should try: Shrimp pasta rice! Definitely worth visiting. Perfect location and very polite and friendly staff

Only certain menu items are good. Most of the food was bland and came out cold. Service was subpar. Overall not the best experience, pretty average or slightly under average.

This is the ancient theatre of Githio. Abandoned , locked, green that it is almost more than a meter high. No one care about it. So you can’t see the theatre but you can imagine it. Yes it is near by a military camp but no one will say you something, if you don’t take photos of the military camp. Of course if you start the photos.. of course they will have a word with you. It is common sense in all countries that photography and military places are a no go.

Small but spectacular ruins, unfortunatelly surrounded by fence, no sign about opening hours. So sad

The ancient theater of Gytheio is a small preserved theater, located in the north edge of the modern settlement of Gytheio, on a slope of a hill, beside a military base. The theater was one of the most important archaeological sites in the area and it was built during the Roman period, at the 1st century A.D. The site was discovered and excavated by the Greek archeologist Dimitris Skias at 1891. The theater had simple stone seats in all rows except of the first row that contained backrests and was made of marble for the officials (the V.I.P.s). During the Roman period there were thymelic performances at the site (The thymelic was song contest, dedicated to god Dionysos), which included a parade and sacrifices to the Roman emperors. The fenced site that might look a bit abandoned today, hosts during the summer some cultural events, such as ancient drama performances, public speeches, and music concerts as part of the Festival of Gythio. However, the site still requires some serious renovation and restoration works as well as basic things like signs and historical explanation, in order to bring him back to his glory days.

The theatre looks in reasonable condition and is worth a view over the fence as the soldiers at the army base next door watch you closely. As with the other ancient ruins in Gytheio the gate is closed and you cannot get close to the ruins, which is a shame.

Very small, only to see from outside through a fence. There are much nicer ones. Only come here, if you pass otherwise not worth the way.

There is no way in. Unfortunately, nobody takes care of it. Looks very sad 😔

Interesting to see when visiting Gythio but not worth a visit alone. Seems a little neglected.

Lovely family taverna with a seaside view and excellent traditional Greek menu and very affordable prices. Good portions too. Waitstaff not overly friendly but owner seemed nice.

Very good food. We had grilled fish, grilled shrimp and stuffed vegetables, which were delicious. Good value. Very tasty.

Fantastic place for seafood. We enjoyed a grilled sea bream (dorade), grilled shrimp and fried anchovis. With a portion of chickpea fritters (basically falafel), a mixed salad and some bread it was more than enough for 2 people. The fried squid that other tables got also looked delicious. Note: the house rose is great with the fish and is only €3.50 for 500ml. The value for money here is incredible (€43.50 in total). Service could have been a bit quicker but staff was very welcoming and friendly overall. Will visit again!

Great fish and seafood and great view. Very nice prices. If you're in the area don't miss this restaurant.

Rainy stormy day, perfect to sit here eating magnificent food while staring at the sea. Wonderful fresh food, if you are not seafood pr meat inclined, the fresh salads and many veggie options too.

Came for calamari, Greek salad, tzatziki and potatoes. It was great! The servers were efficient + kind. We had 4 adults and 2 children.

The food was good value and tasty but nothing outstanding. However the service was poor and the staff completely uninterested and brusque.

Very decent place. Great portion size. We had the beef steak and it was amazing. The service was perfect. 😊 prices also very good!

Very tasty home-cooked food on a garden setting with just the right amount of lighting and music volume - bonus points for the fountain at nights providing some very relaxing ambience to go along with your wine. Service was great, it looks family owned and operated and the people there are genuinely sweet. Prices are fine and menu wise any needs can be accommodated be it Greek "yiayia" cuisine or grilled meats, since we ate there 4 times and sampled pretty much everything, all plates ranging from good to extremely good. It's a shame the other two restaurants seem to have more customers since they cannot hold a candle to this place in the slightest (albeit they are decent too) Protip: Their "keftedakia" were divine.

Love this place! Ate there two times in three days, returning for the second time after a meal at another nearby taverna wasn’t as good. This place has excellent food, friendly staff, and beautiful outdoor seating area. We especially enjoyed the chicken souvlaki, special pizza, saganaki, and local sausage. We also appreciated the apparent family-run nature of the business and the fact that it is tucked away in a residential part of Mavrovouni, away from the crowded main drag of Gytheio. Even though we’re from the US and don’t speak Greek, and the gentleman who apparently runs the place doesn’t speak English, we were able to communicate enough with him and his staff (family members, we assume) to order our food and settle the bill. Anyway, we highly recommend this place to anyone passing through the area. You won’t be disappointed!

Very nice tavern. There is good choice of local dishes, grilled meat and seafood. Reasonable prices. Nicely located on small square.

Not good service and food at all. We had to wait for 45min. for service and at the end the burger was BURNED from the one side , covered with the potato's. No excuse , no "I am sorry" but " Thinks like this are happened"

Excellent food hospitality and service. We enjoyed our dinner very much. Real authentic Greece taverna

Cannot follow the positive ratings. Small selection of food. Not very tasty. There are better alternatives around.

Delicious! My first visit and looking forward to more delectable meals, coffee and drinks. Staff are incredibly courteous and friendly. I had the delicious zucchini fritters- so light and full of flavours from the fresh ingredients- returned and had their prawn pasta dish - simply scrumptious Come over -stop by and enjoy a meal with one of the most stunning views of Gythio

We had dinner, food was very good, quite expensive. Seafood riso was very good, grilled shrimp were over cooked and not clean enough. We got free desert that was very tasty. Lovely location.

Two beers and for diner we ordered each the grilled octopus. When they served the octopus we couldn’t believe what we saw. We left hungry.

We had a great experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere and service were excellent — a young, dynamic vibe combined with traditional Greek charm. Highly recommend the fried zucchini with tzatziki — crispy and delicious. We also tried the beef hamburger, which was unique and full of flavor. A perfect mix of modern energy and authentic Greek cuisine.

The location is unique bur moreover the people are all wonderful and the food excellent. It has been recommended by a friend and she was absolutely spot on. Congratulations!!!

Service, food and place all very nice. We got the tsouxti spaghetti simple yet great and the linguini with pork and mushroom. Try kagiana and kolokythokeftedes.

The food was fantastic, super tasty and all fresh. We tried a number of different dishes, including freshly grilled fish, the lobster pasta, seafood risotto and other dishes and everything was amazing!! The service team was knowledgeable, cared out their patrons and were super polite. Congratulations to the chef and kitchen staff, and keep up the great work!!! In my opinion, this is certainly one of the best restaurants in Gythio!! They have a large variety of dishes, with a combination of traditional and non-traditional plates. The restaurant also has a great outdoor dining area where you can enjoy your supper or just have some drinks. Thank you! We cannot wait to come back!!!

Outstanding and innovative cuisine with really excellent main courses and salads and some novel appetisers. Away from the tourist waterfront and concentrating on offering a really good experience at reasonable cost. Good list of house wines and a small selection of top class Peloponnese wines. Try the Kodonitsa!

What an outstanding elevated dining experience in a small unpretentious town! Great service but do be warned that they will get to you when they get to you and asking too many questions was not well received by the older lady running the front of the house (not unheard of in mom & pop places in Greece). The place must always be packed (locals and tourists alike). Every dish looked Instagram-worthy. 😅 If this was close to home, I'd go there all the time. Very reasonably priced, too! I had half a bottle's worth of wine, a ginormous steak (with French fries), tzatziki, and spaghetti and meatballs for my son. The bill was only €45. 🤯 They treat you with a dessert at the end, which was delicious! 😋 Avoid sitting in the back in the summer, it was a sweat lodge. 😅

I had a fantastic experience at Diosmos! The service was absolutely amazing — attentive, friendly, and fast. The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentically Greek. Every dish was beautifully prepared and tasted delicious. Highly recommend for anyone craving high-quality Mediterranean cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere!

Tasty dishes and pretty atmosphere, however quite expensive. Theres not a main course less than 13€ (roughly 15$) and the quantity is small. In my opinion, you cant be satisfied without at least 2 side dishes which results in a bill around 20-25euros per person (roughly 23-29$).

Try the dishes of the day. Try the traditional greek cuisine (we had Tsouxti Pasta and lemon veil). Better service can level up the restaurant.

Probably the best food in Gytheio. We had an amazing Mani Pitta, and pork tenderloin with mushrooms and mashed potatoes.

Fantastic experience, superb food, great value, awesome service, lovely decor!
