It's in the hills with a nice view over the valley and next to a large statue representing "the 3 heroic generations" of Crete, fighting against the Venetians, then the Ottomans and lastly the Germans. So the setting is nice.
We stopped for lunch. There was a couple who had just finished eating and us. Despite this the service was super slow.
