If like us after 10 days, the thought of another chicken Gyros was enough to make you weep, do your palate a favour and go here :) Yes they had all the "usuals" but also a large and tempting menu of classic dishes with a twist, i had a wonderful baked feta and tomato starter and my boyfriend had chicken...

The food is as good as it was the first time we ate at this restaurant a few years ago, in fact even better. The menue is kept fresh with even more traditional dishes each time. This is a true Cretan establishment, not just open for the tourist season, unlike many of the others included in the reviews but throughout... More

The staff couldn't have been nicer and were very friendly and helpful. The bill for 2 mains and a bottle of wine was 38 euros which was very reasonable for the standard of... More

We hadn't read any reviews, but the restaurant looked interesting, so we gave it a try. It is on a pedestrians only street, with tables on the street, in a courtyard and also inside under cover. The courtyard and street were full when we arrived, but the staff said we could have a table inside, or wait for a courtyard... More
