Tsipouradika

Tsipouradika is a traditional Volos tavern that serves ‘tsipouro’ with various appetizers or mezze. This distinct type of tavern is only found in Volos. Tsipouro is a distillate created from the pomace of grapes left after squeezing them to make wine. This drink is very popular across restaurants, taverns, bars, and alcohol shops across Thessaly and even Volos. You can find a Tsipouradika in almost every corner of Volos, but the best ones are near the port.

What makes the experience of a Volos Tsiporadika is that you only have to specify the amount of Tsipoura you consume and whether it will be with or without anise. The server places the order of the Tsipoura directly, and it is accompanied by mezze whether you order it or not. The mezze platter includes a range of dishes from seafood appetizers, salted olives, anchovy, peppers, meatballs, cod, pastrami, a cheese platter, eggplants spetsofai, sardines, fresh salads, grilled potatoes, fried shrimp and a whole range of other authentic local recipes.
