Electra Restaurant — Restaurant in Municipality of Argos and Mykines

I was little worried when I saw no one inside. I found it on Google with a 4.8 star rating with over 800 reviews and had 5 members of my family following my recommendation.

We were welcomed by an elderly yet upbeat man (who was the owner) who let us pick our table, gave us our menus then served us bread and water. The menus were simple, hand written and photocopied inside with a selection of simple Greek recipes (later we found out this was because it was just the elderly man and his wife that ran the restaurant).

Not just compared to the price, but absolutely. At the end we got water melon as a gift and the owner did not even accept a tip. I...

Whether you’re hungry after exploring the archaeological sites or simply chasing the taste of true Greek hospitality, this charming spot deserves a visit. It’s one of those places that stays with you long after the last bite.

The food was tasty. I had delicious chicken souvlaki, my husband had a tuna salad with apples, my children had a greek salads and each one of us was debating as to who had ordered the best dish. It had parking, very clean WCs and was able to accommodate...
