Wonderful place! Delicious and large portions of grilled dishes. We received the dolmadakia while it was still warm! The service was phenomenal. The gentleman who served us was very professional. Family atmosphere. I highly recommend this place

We spent a very good time in this restaurant! The waiters were really nice, authentic (as well as the food) and always on hand at the slightest problem (even if we did have any)! Good vibe, nice view for the sunset and delicious grill meat ! Highly recommend !

Incredible. Calm, local atmosphere. Chicken rotating over a fire. Waiter who is a JOKE how nice he is. And beer gets served in glasses pre-cooled in the fridge. 25 EURO per head to be FULL of food and drink.
