BEST. LAMB. ON. EARTH!!!! This place is a hidden gem of Greece. We visited there after exploring the monasteries of Meteora.

They had two big skewers of pork and lamb and several other customers after us ordered the same as that was all they had available. Don't buy from here if the meat hasn't been freshly cooked. It'll be dry and...
