Stumbled across this place on a day out exploring Meseria. A 15 minute stroll from the centre and here you are. Not very well signposted or advertised and thought it was closed when we first arrived but with a little exploring around the back of the building we found the entrance, it's worth the hassle.

It's also worth to mention that there are really clean toilets on...

I don’t understand why it’s so hard for businesses to update their hours here or provide even basic customer service, but thanks for wasting my time!
Edit: This response from the owner implies that I am unable to read opening hours. Don't try to gaslight me. The listed opening hours said you were open on Friday from 10-6. If this is not correct, then you need to change them, not blame your...
