Gorgeous harbor views and friendly service with solid Greek staples; quality varies and pricing feels premium for the setting.
Restaurant Summary
Perched above the old harbor, this spot pairs sweeping sea views with relaxed, friendly service. Guests describe staff who guide choices and keep the mood warm: "Our server explained the dishes and checked on us often." However, there are some review authenticity concerns suggesting certain reviews may be solicited or influenced. The cooking leans classic Greek and Cretan with a few Italian touches—think grilled seafood and moussaka, whipped feta, and risotto. When the kitchen is on, flavors are clean and satisfying; when busy or on special-event nights, seasoning and doneness can wobble. This suits travelers seeking harbor-view comfort food rather than avant‑garde plates. Families do fine here: fries, simple pastas, grilled chicken, and shrimp or kalamari work for kids. No explicit kids menu, but portions and straightforward prep help. Expect bread charged per person and prices a bit higher than inland tavernas.
