"A lovely place in the center of Athens,
The food is what you expect from a local Greek restaurant.
People are really Nice, they Even gift us the dessert.
The only bad thing is a noisy sound outside but you can easily forget about it while enjoying each one of your meal.
Thanks a lot for this expérience."
