Request a glass of the Antipaxi white, a dynamic, local specialty, and sip it alongside several kitchen-recommended tastes. You'll be in good hands when you...
Read moreReally rate this restaurant....it's away from the square and general hub bub of Gaios. Beautiful views across the water and in to the port ..The general feel of the restaurant is relaxed and friendly....Nothing is too much to ask here!
