To Polychoro taverna in Trikala, Corinthia: charcoal grill and a fireplace since 2008
ArticleAfter a walk on Mount Ziria or through the villages of Trikala, lunch at a mountain taverna is almost compulsory. In Kato Synoikia, Trikala, To Polychoro has been serving Greek home cooking since 2008, with local ingredients and a fireplace that, as they say, has never gone out.
The business in this article is a Visit Corinthia partner. We describe it using what it says about its own work; hours and details can change, so check its page before you go.
The story
To Polychoro opened in 2008. Andreas Kouzios grew up with traditional Greek home cooking and decided to share his love of food. The kitchen relies on local, seasonal produce from nearby producers and on inherited family recipes.
What to eat
- Grilled meat cooked to order over charcoal — just as you would expect at a mountain taverna.
- Home-cooked dishes — made with whatever the season and the land bring.
In their Google reviews, guests often mention the generous portions and the friendly service; the taverna is rated 4.7 from more than 330 reviews.
The space: stone, wood and a view
The big dining hall has a wooden roof, stone walls and windows looking out to the mountain. There is also a bar, an outdoor area and, of course, the fireplace — the best spot in the house on cold days.
Weddings, christenings and groups
The taverna hosts weddings, christenings and all kinds of events, and welcomes coach groups, associations and large parties. At events, all food comes from the taverna’s own kitchen.
