"I came across this cosy restaurant by chance and I am very glad I did. Cheerful owner and staff, very delicious and fresh food, prepared and plated with care. Their welcome tapas are way too much food even for a starter. Very, very reasonable prices.
Highly recommend and already added to my favotites in Crete."

"Fantastic restaurant, beautiful setting and wonderful atmosphere. The staff are extremely kind, and it’s clear they do their work with great love. The food is a true experience. Even such an ordinary dish as a Greek salad is turned here into a gem. I will be very happy to return."
