O Takis Seafood Tavern
Ο Τάκης
An old fish tavern in Limeni harbor, open since 1986, with a terrace right on the bay. It is known for its lobster pasta.
Considered the most famous seafood tavern in Mani, it has operated in the small harbor of Limeni since 1986. The terrace sits above the bay, and sea turtles occasionally swim past during meals. The signature dish is lobster pasta (astakomakaronada). There is also shrimp pasta and charcoal-grilled fresh fish sold by weight. Ask staff to weigh the fish and quote the price before ordering. Fresh fish costs about €50 per kilo, and dinner for two with drinks costs about €80–100. In summer the terrace fills by 8 pm, so book a day ahead. Reviews often mention slow service and high prices. The drive from Areopoli takes about 5 minutes.
