Just a few minutes from Gytheio, in a serene country setting, the restaurant offers dishes that honor Greek tradition.
Vathi, a small village just 14 km west of Gythio, may be unknown to those who don't live in the area, but it has the advantage of being located on its largest beach (excellent for lazing around and diving). However, since it's well known that visitors to an area, whether for vacation or just a swim, also think about food, the beach (which isn't very useful in winter anyway) offers good options.
You'll agree that good food is a strong «lure,» especially when the weather or season doesn't permit swimming. In this case, Hannover, a surprise restaurant, is what makes the difference and puts Vathi on the gastronomic map of Southern Peloponnese.
Hannover has a 45-year history., built on strong flavor foundations laid by the founding parents, and now continued by the second generation, who bears the responsibility for the taste offerings. It is a stop that is worth it for every flavor enthusiast. The restaurant, although located in a modern building, It's quite reminiscent of a French country auberge—those well-known culinary spots with character and warmth.
The three brothers who run Hannover today have a clear appreciation for quality products and benefit from the region, which generously offers meat, fish, oil, and other local goods. They propose a cuisine with a Greek character and evident skill in handling raw ingredients. The environment is also an important element: a welcoming hall and a lush garden that harmoniously connect with the surrounding nature. As for the flavors, the variety and techniques leave no room for boredom. From the zucchini blossoms and the excellent eggplant salad to the fish and meats, which are suggested according to the season, Hannover will be unforgettable—and will certainly make you want to visit again.
