Even if you're back from vacation, small excursions outside of Athens is the best to prolong the summer.
This item: The Meltemi is located on the promenade in Alepochoriou. Specifically on the avenue Gerania renamed boulevard Alkyonidon. Coming from Athens, just enter the village and reach the junction for Straw (down the road), turn left and continue along the coast before finding the store on your left hand.
The atmosphere: Of all the tavernas we saw on the route, the Meltemi is the most manicured. The inner room is dressed in white with decorative details from branches and tree trunks. However, it can sit on the terrace to enjoy endless sea as you eat. Even at noon, that we visited, it was cool and shady. https://plus.google.com/117698262032662778734/about
The food: "There is the classic seaside tavern" said the friend who suggested it to us and he was right. It may at first glance at the eye fell on rolls of smoked salmon with cream cheese, rocket salad and parmesan-like touches but the food was more than fair. We started with squash, well fried and rich spices with fresh giaourtosaltsa, french fries, grilled halloumi with grilled vegetables and a salad with caper leaves and nuts. All well presented and delicious. For main we got the tenderloin with limoncello sauce, caramelized nice and quite hearty in size and juicy and nicely cooked grilled tenderloin - both dishes came accompaniment for rice and French fries. After we finished eating, rest and we headed back.
PS. If one considers that the last time the Straw (10 'away) paralathassia the tavern we visited was unacceptable so our expectations were not very high were very satisfied.
Account: 17 to 20 euros per person, with wine.
The wine: There are several options for bottled wine (white, red and rose) 10 to 24 euros a bottle. You'll find the bulk wine 4.80 euro / kg; tasted slightly sweetish and quite a nice white. Still, some beers and soft drinks.
Additional Information: The toilets are very clean and worth a special mention on the wall taps to enter.
Opening hours: from 11 am until late in the evening. The winter Meltemi operates only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
