What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Symposium Restaurant is praised for its delicious traditional Greek food, generous portions, and exceptional customer service, all enjoyed with stunning beach views. While most diners have a fantastic experience, a few note that some specific dishes, like the Symposium salad, might not meet expectations. Despite occasional busyness, the service remains prompt and friendly, making it a highly recommended spot for a memorable meal.
"Excellent food at the beach, great service. We had lunch here several days in a row. Every time the lady kept greeting us with a large smile on her face, it was very friendly and welcoming. Each time, when we asked for the bill, we were surprised with fruit and raki- compliment from the house."
Ivalina Salabasheva
"Skip the Symposium salad - it’s a pricy salad mix with what looks like a store bought mayo based sauce, and way too much of it. They also kept a nicer table empty, even though it was the perfect size for our company and didn’t have a reserved sign on it. Definitely not a first choice among all the shore restaurants here."
Ieva Berankytė
"There are many beachside choices. Our Airbnb suggested this one. And it didn’t disappoint. The food is great. Service is polite and prices reasonable. We had the grilled whole dorade fish which was fresh and tasty. A nice place to sit and watch the beach"
