A Perfect Family Experience: Dyo Tzitzikia ("Two cicadas")
We recently visited the wonderful restaurant "Δυο τζιτζίκια στ'αρμυρίκια" with a large family group - five adults and two children - and left with huge smiles and a feeling of true satisfaction. This is a restaurant that perfectly succeeds in combining authentic, superb Greek food with heartfelt service, resulting in an exceptional culinary experience.
Culinary Excellence and Fresh Flavors The food was simply excellent. It is evident that the restaurant prioritizes the freshest and highest quality ingredients, which you can taste in every single bite. Every dish we ordered, from the local salads to the main courses, was prepared with great care and generosity. The traditional dishes are the absolute highlight, featuring rich, clean, and truly homemade flavors that made us feel like we were in the heart of Greece. The portions were generous and everything was incredibly delicious.
Above and Beyond Service The service is perhaps the key factor that makes this place so special. The staff was attentive, quick, and incredibly efficient. Despite the size of our group, they handled every one of our requests with exceptional professionalism and patience, and always with a warm, welcoming smile. The care given to the children was thoughtful and dedicated, which made the entire meal relaxing and enjoyable for us parents. This heartfelt service makes "Dyo Tzitzikia" feel like home.
Pleasant Atmosphere and Great Value The atmosphere in the restaurant is pleasant and inviting, providing a lovely, pastoral backdrop for the meal. Combined with the exquisite food and exceptional service, the restaurant offers excellent value for money.
This is a warm and genuine recommendation for anyone looking to enjoy an authentic, delicious Greek meal and receive personalized,...
Read moreFine tavern, but with a bad experience at the end of our meal. Would not recommend it, even if the food, and atmosphere was good.
This place was recommended to view the sunset and enjoy good food. The food was very good, we had the most amazing onion pie (I have never had anything like it in my life!). We enjoyed the sunset and everything, the service was fine, but there was a bad experience at the end of our dinner.
When the waiter came to pay, although the bill was 60.50 euro, he charged me, without asking me, 65 euros. When I asked him, he told me that this is how it goes and he has to give 4.50 euros to the waiters as tips. I asked if that was obligatory and he said yes, this is how it works.
I felt very uncomfortable and I could not just sit there and accept this, so when I asked another waiter if this is the policy of the restaurant, he answered "absolutely not" and that maybe this was a mistake and he called the manager. When the manager came, she apologised and said that maybe the waiter did not listen well etc, and I said how could he not listed well? I did not ask to leave a tip. If I wanted to, I would. He just charged my card in front of my face, with an extra amount!
I really felt like I am a stupid tourist and maybe he thought I would never ask for details and make a complaint.
In the end, we did not leave any tips and the manager gave us back our money.
For this reason I would not recommend this place to anyone. Many more spots to view the...
