Read moreWe stumbled upon this charming place completely by chance. What immediately caught our eye, mine and my mother’s, was the tempting description written on the blackboard outside: ‘Musaka Spezial’. And we thought: why not? 🌸
We absolutely loved the atmosphere – the location offers a breathtaking view, with cozy tables right on the beach. At sunset, the water glitters while Mount Athos rises beautifully in the background – a truly magical setting. The staff was wonderfully welcoming, kind, and patient. We had several questions about the menu and received detailed, thoughtful answers, always with a smile.
When our food arrived, of course… we were beyond delighted! 🤩 The dishes were delicious, the service quick, and the presentation elegant and full of taste.
I noticed in the reviews that some people were not so happy… but everyone has their own karma 🤭. For us, it was an amazing, flavorful, and joyful experience, and we’ll definitely return whenever we get the chance.
The prices are indeed higher than elsewhere, but the food and service were on par.
Our recommendations:
Musaka Spezial (incredibly tasty)
The beef with smoked eggplant and béchamel (forgot the exact name)
And of course, the cheese croquettes with honey – an absolute...
Read morePicture the tiniest fish fillet you can imagine. Now, cut that in half. Then cut that in half. And then,divide it by six. Voilà, you have the sea bass I was served.

Just ordinary fish. Nothing special. I guess you need a certain kind of confidence to charge 25 euros for something barely bigger than my finger. Bold move.
On the bright side, the salad was a solid win. Fresh leaves and carrots with a seasoning that could make anything taste good. And the grilled shrimp? Those were decent, 6 big ones,(though, they kept their shells on).
As for the restaurant itself, it had a lovely vibe. The staff was super friendly and even offered us something while we waited for our takeaway, but we politely declined. Despite their kindness, I couldn’t shake the feeling of being slightly bamboozled by the fish situation. So, I ended up passing the little fish fillet onto a very charming cat. Moral of the story: Always ask about the weight of your fish after it's cooked before you order, or you might end up trading goods...
