Eating Trout at Restaurant Neromylos, Greece

Near the villages of Kastraki, Meteora and Dhavia there is a special restaurant named Neromylos. You have to drive towards Dhavia, over the bridge and look for signs which direct you to the restaurant. It is best to drive before the sun sets!

The restaurant is well known for its trout which they breed by themselves in large ponds at the back of the restaurant. The waiter was so kind to give us a tour of the facility.

The breeding area is very old. Water comes from a spring up the hill and cascades over the various basins. The youngest fish are in the upper basins. After a few weeks they are put in the lower basins. The oldest fish swim in the lower basin.

Of course the entire breeding area is fenced off to keep out birds and other animals.

After the tour, we ordered their signature dish: trout! It was delicious!

Driving from Delphi to Meteora



After our visit to Delphi (A), we drove to Kastraki (B). Kastraki is a little village near Meteora – our next stop. The trip was about 314 km and took about 6 hours. We drove over the toll routes and skipped the scenic route. This way we avoided the Greek style of driving on the smaller roads, and we were sure we would arrive on time.
We stayed at Doupiani House which has a wonderful view of the rock towers of Meteora.
