Handmade pies and Asia Minor memory in Milies
Salkimi sits in Milies and makes a good counterpoint to the village's train and museum visits. Its cooking brings together Pelion ingredients, handmade pastry and flavours carried from Asia Minor, with pies, vegetable dishes and slow-cooked plates often offering more character than a rushed order of grilled meat. The room has the unforced warmth of a mountain taverna rather than a polished destination restaurant.
Although the restaurant describes itself as year-round, opening days can still change with the season and local demand. Call before making the drive, particularly on a winter weekday. Ask about the pies and dishes of the day, share several starters and leave time for a relaxed meal. Milies has steep lanes and limited central parking, so use the designated village areas and complete the last section on foot.
