A family kitchen beside Damouchari's old harbour
Palia Damouchari belongs to the small harbour rather than merely borrowing its view. The family has welcomed visitors here since 1982, and the kitchen works with local producers, the day's fish and recognisably Pelion ingredients. Look for tsitsiravla, the pickled shoots served as a meze, and spetsofai when it is available, then build the meal around what is fresh rather than ordering by habit.
The waterfront position is popular and the business is seasonal, so reserve and confirm the current service period directly. Damouchari's final road and parking are constrained; arriving on foot from nearby accommodation or before the evening rush is often easier. Tell the restaurant about allergies when booking, ask the price of fish sold by weight and do not rely on map listings for exact opening hours outside summer.
