Located on the first floor in a building opposite of the church. We had a table at the window and enjoyed watching the people walking by. The staff was very friendly, the food very good and fresh. Nice salads. Good atmosphere.

Lots of lovely tapas style choices, and cold beer! The chef even brought us samples of ones we didn't know, to try before ordering.

This restaurant was recommended, however we would not do the same. Service was friendly and good, but food arrived cold, and kebabs lack any flavour. Overall dissapointed.

Really nice service and inexpensive food with a view of the town and the Greek Orthodox church. However the superior meal is to be had at Haret Jdoudna up the street.
