Food was good, may be a notch below average (did not get the complimentary dessert). All well furnished, good service. "We serve only Greek Beer" so Mythos is not available (well done!).

This is one of the restaurants that we really want to keep secret so it does not get too busy, but we also want to share our good news. We drove up to the quaint village of Selia, and parked on the outskirts and walked...More
