Gastronomy

Pserimos’ tavernas are open all day, including breakfast time. Breakfast consists of local products such as eggs, dairy, and honey. Meals often include local capers. The cliffs are full of these delicious little flower buds. The island is also called Kappari (the Greek word for “caper”). For lunch or dinner, visit the family-owned taverna Manòlas. The owner raises his own animals, produces his own cheese and olive oil, and even catches a lot of the seafood he serves.

Pserimos Marinas and Anchorages
