Areopoli (Greek: Αρεόπολη, before 1912 also: Τσίμοβα - Tsimova), known as "Χειμαύα" (from Greek "Χειμαδιών") in the regional Maniot tongue, is a town on the Mani Peninsula, Laconia, Greece. The word Areopoli means "city of Ares", the ancient Greek god of war. It was the seat of Oitylo municipality. Areopoli was called Tsimova by the invading Slavs during the 7th century AD. The Greek War of Independence was started at Areopoli on March 17, 1821 by Petros Pierrakos, also known as Petros Mavromichalis, the last bey of Mani. Now Areopoli has grown into a flourishing town. Its tower houses, constructed with field stones, are distinct from the traditional blue and white buildings that characterize many Greek villages.

Reviewed By Ilana H
Crocus Restaurant is a new and exciting restaurant at the wonderful Bassa Maina Villas and Suites. Headed by the young and creative chef, Ilias, each dish has its own unique and special flavour. The presentation is beautiful, the portions are generous and Ilias is constantly creating new dishes to add to the menu. I tasted most of the dishes as I spent 3 weeks at Bassa Maina and loved them all. The expert service and friendliness of all the staff completes the wonderful experience, not to mention the exquisite sunsets as you dine out on the balcony.With the fresh local ingredients and the creativeness and passion of Ilias and his team, I think that this Restaurant will be a great success.

The place is really nice, as is device and the food(was had pasta) was very good. However they allow smoking inside which kind of ruined the second part of our meal. If there are no smokers I would definitely recommend it.

Had some cocktails that were supposed to contain alcohol. Taste was good although rather sweet. After having finished them we were 99% sure that either no or a negligeable quantity of alcohol was used. Regarding the price (12 ⬠/ drink), this can well be called a tourist trap/rip-off. Avoid ordering alcohol here unless it is ouzo or beer from a bottle. By the way: nice setting.

And fish tavern, that has a lovely view over the sea. Dishes were tasteful, but I think it's inappropriate when they don't clean prawns properly. Also complementary fruit served in a small atomic plate - not for all of those sitting at the table- (a small piece of watermelon) was simply rediculous.

We had dinner here with friends based on so many of the good reviews we had seen. Our experience was way off. Artichokes that had a strange taste (and not very fresh), the giant beans were ok, and the pork undercooked and underseasoned. Strange atmosphere as well.

Greek traditional food

This restaurant has a greater variety of traditional foods than most of the restaurants in town. Many dishes incorporate traditional ingredients that are hard to find outside the Mani. Wonderful service. There is also a small shop downstairs that sells traditional goods and a few souvenirs.

A hospitable local taverna that features a short list of home prepared dishes. Kyria Fotini, the cook, will be glad to welcome you in her kitchen and provide details in preparing certain dishes. Try the simple local âtravihtesâ pies, fried in the famous local virgin olive oil, served along with cheese and wine .
