LONTZA 

Lontza is a traditional Greek gastro-kafeneio hidden in the mountain village of Foiniki, offering an authentic taste of inland Thesprotia. Just 35–40 minutes from Igoumenitsa, it’s a destination worth the drive for travelers who want to experience real local food and village life.

The menu focuses on honest Greek cooking, with grilled meats over open fire, seasonal ingredients, and dishes made the traditional way. The atmosphere is warm and social, often lively, and deeply connected to the place and its people.

What truly sets Lontza apart is its owner, Theodoros, whose passion and personal care can be felt in every detail — from the food to the setting. This is not a rushed dining stop, but a place to slow down, share a meal, and enjoy the rhythm of the village.

At IgoumenitsaStay, we recommend Lontza because it represents the authentic side of Thesprotia — beyond the coast, beyond the obvious.
A genuine experience, and a reason to take the car and explore.
