Mani never tasted better
Our hotel’s menu is among the things that the Kyrimai team takes most pride in. Combining familiar, traditional tastes with a sense of innovation, our dishes aim to please the modern visitor, but also give him or her an authentic experience of Mani’s joys and culture.
Local & seasonal
Mani’s gastronomic history contains much more than one might think. There are still numerous aspects that are worth discovering and tasting. Both the hillside and the seaside settlements, that had remained cut off from each other for years, developed their own special, autonomous gastronomic cultures, that effortlessly impress today’s visitor with their unexpectedly modern and unusual character. That’s exactly the kind of character that we want to bring to light again.
The Μaniot sofra
We believe that the only way to understand and appreciate the cuisine of such a special place is by following your instinct and your feelings. By discovering our own past we are able to offer new visitors culinary experiences unlike anything before. The Kyrimai chefs’ decision to readopt the Maniot sofra – the low, round table around which Maniot families used to prepare and eat their dinner – can only be the starting point of a continuing effort to bring out the region’s gastronomic uniqueness – so that Mani will taste better than ever.
The Maniot breakfast
The Maniot breakfast is characterized by the clarity of its tastes, which derive from local products. The final aim is simplicity, which will help the visitor to fully appreciate and enjoy every single mouthful. Olive oil, with its fresh, youthful aroma, olives, barley rusks and the finest honey are the pride of the Maniot diet. These are the tastes that are prepared daily and served on the traditional low wooden tables (sophra), helping you to become acquainted with the gastronomy of Mesa Mani.
Outdoor kitchen

Next to the sea
