Food: ★★★★★ Service: ★★★★★ Atmosphere: ★★★★★
The best well-kept secret in town - the food is to die for. Home cooked Greek dishes, recommend taking away and enjoying them at the comfort of your hotel or home. Keftedakia, Mousaka and Melitzana with cheese are to die for. Add to that reasonable prices - what more do you want? Recommend coming early because they sell out otherwise.
Outdoor patio €5-10
