Astra sits at the edge of Megalo Papingo on the road toward Mikro Papingo, with vine-shaded tables facing Astraka's limestone walls. Hikers and vegetarians join meat eaters for garden courgettes, stuffed flowers, beans, mushrooms, trout, meatballs and risotto grown or sourced close to the village.
Pantheon serves beneath its namesake hotel in Papingo, using an outdoor terrace and a practical indoor room for mountain weather. Families and mixed-diet groups choose local trout, cooked meats and Greek vegetable dishes, with vegan and gluten-free options marked across an all-day menu.
