Melissa (named after the Greek word for honeybee) is a charming, family-run taverna that delivers genuine Greek hospitality with exceptional food.
Positioned on the seafront, its relaxed atmosphere makes dining here feel like visiting old friends.
The grill is the centre of the kitchen, allowing Melissa to serve up perfectly-seasoned meats, from crisp, slow-roasted pork crackling to succulent chicken and pork souvlaki, tender grilled lamb chops, and rich homemade daily specials. Pair any of these up with perfect crispy chips for a tasty meal that won’t leave you feeling hungry.
Vegetarians are equally well catered for, with salads, stuffed vegetables, and fresh local dips.
Portion sizes are generous, prices are fair, and the warm welcome often comes with a sweet treat at the end of your meal.
Melissa has earned a loyal following among both locals and regular returning holidaymakers.
If you want a memorable evening in Stoupa that focuses on quality cooking, generous portions, and authentic village charm, Taverna Melissa is an absolute must-visit.
