Pita tis Kikitsas

Top choice in Zagorohoria


The plateia of Monodendri may be the geographic centre of pita excellence in Greece. This wood-panelled restaurant serves a big slab of seasonal pie – leek, greens, cheese, and so on – that's a perfect balance of filling and flaky hand-rolled filo. Frossas, on the opposite side of the square, is equally delicious. Try them both!
