Costa Navarino ‘Pasteli’ Macaron.

This summer, Costa Navarino in southwest Peloponnese, will enhance its extensive culinary offering, through an exciting new partnership with the Athens-based Funky Gourmet restaurant.

According to an announcement, for the first time in Greece, a restaurant awarded with 2 Michelin stars will operate outside of Athens, in the stunning location of the brand new, earth-sheltered clubhouse at the Navarino Bay resort area, in Costa Navarino.

The Funky Gourmet Pop-Up restaurant will operate from July 8 to August 17 and be open for dinner Monday to Saturday (7pm to 12am).

Overlooking the historic bay with spectacular sunset vistas, the multi-awarded Chefs Georgianna Hiliadaki and Nikos Roussos will “accompany” foodies on an exciting gastronomic journey, offering a degustation menu of Avant Garde Messinian–Greek cuisine.

This unique menu will come alive with colors, aromas and flavours, composing a delicious canvas that will appeal to all senses and elevate the Messinian gastronomy to new sensory heights.

“We couldn’t help but grab the opportunity to create a menu based on products sourced in the rich Messinian land. We consider the Messinian diet to be a gastronomic landmark of the Greek culinary heritage,” the Funky Gourmet Chefs, Georgianna and Nikos, commented.
