"I only had a cappuccino because the prices are North European level. However that is normal in Greek tourist resorts. The location is great and people friendly"

"Went there with friends to enjoy a good iced coffee in the hot weather. However when trying to order, our waitress who seemed to barely speak English acted so rudely when she couldn’t understand a basic request of putting ice in coffee leaving us completely stunned by her attitude. When she finally understood she snatched the menus from our hands and stomped away. The drinks were good but the rudeness of the waitress left a bitter taste even the sweet coffee couldn’t erase."
