Sirocco Volcanic Restaurant
Σιρόκος
A restaurant on Paliochori Beach that slow-cooks food in sand warmed by volcanic heat. The clay pots are dug out of the sand just before they are served.
Located on Paliochori Beach on the south coast and run by the Tseroni family. The beach sand is warmed by volcanic geothermal heat. The restaurant seals marinated lamb, pork or fresh fish in clay pots, buries them in the sand to slow-cook, and digs them out just before serving. Fish and lamb are ordered by the kilo. Cooking takes 45–60 minutes, and reservations can be made online. In summer there are beach loungers, and live music is occasionally played. Reviews of the food are mixed, and most people come for the experience. Expect to pay about €20–40 per person, with fish priced by the kilo.
