Where do I even start? The whole place is beautifully decorated and not a single spot is left uncleaned. The accompanying view of the sea, along with the nearby rental homes only add to the relaxing and cozy atmosphere of this beautiful restaurant.
Following the awe of the scenic sunset we were greeted by the friendly (and surprisingly young!) staff, who suggested us a couple of the best dishes the restaurant had to offer. We chose both of the risottos, the baby potatoes, the wine braised octopus and most notably, the cheese and spinach Kantaifi.
The quality of the food was excellent and the portions surprisingly big. The Kantaifi that the waiter suggested turned out to be quite a treat and was possibly the best dish on our table.

Read moreFirst of all the 1.5euro per person Cover Charge, the first time in Greece... In Italy at least you have a cloth tablecloth and napkins, not a sheet of paper and paper napkins. Then the food: I ordered Shrimps Saganaki, and I got something else, maybe you should ask the cook to watch for it on YouTube... I also ordered Fried Kalamari, and I got a super small portion, without any taste. At first we received 2 tiny slices of cucumber with a knife tip of cheese on top, I asked if they were for decoration or to put on the eyes for the Spa... Very nice location and the guys serving very kind, but I don't...
