The lamb was spot on&mdash;crispy outside, tender inside. Place gets busy but they handle it fine. Nice view of the lake too.

The moussaka here is really good. Tastes homemade, not like the frozen stuff you get in tourist spots. I&#39;ve been coming for years and it&#39;s stayed consistent. Place gets busy around 8, so come a bit earlier if you want a quiet table. Prices are fair for what you get.

Came for the sunset view, ended up staying for the grilled octopus. Really fresh, well seasoned. Staff squeezed us in without a reservation which was nice. Place gets busy though.

Solid food. Real Greek flavors, nothing fancy but done right. Sat outside, watched the sun hit the water while eating. Staff left us alone mostly, which I liked. Price was fair for what you got. Good spot to wrap up a trip.

The shrimp pasta had a sauce with real heat to it, that was the highlight. Shrimp were a bit soft though, not the freshest texture. Didn&#39;t care much about the harbor view or the blankets, just here for the food. Decent plate overall, but I&#39;ve had better. Maybe catch them on a good day.

Been here a few times now, and the chicken quesadillas still hit the spot. Crispy outside, decent amount of filling, not one of those sad dry ones. Place gets busy around dinner, but the vibe stays chill. Consistent, which is why I keep coming back.

The beach itself is lovely, but the restaurant prices are a bit much for what you get. Honestly, better to grab your own snacks and drinks and just enjoy the sand.

The pork gyro here is massive. Like, genuinely huge. I got one and couldn&#39;t finish it, which never happens. Meat was juicy, not dry at all. Place was busy but we still got our food fast. Only thing is the seating&#39;s a bit cramped, but honestly for the price you can&#39;t complain.

Stopped here for a quick bite during a beach walk. Got the grilled octopus and a Greek salad&mdash;both were fresh and hit the spot. Service was fast, no waiting around. View of the water is hard to beat. Prices are a bit on the higher side for the portion size, but you&#39;re paying for the location. Fine for a casual lunch if you&#39;re in the area.

Perfect hospitality and restaurant.Very attentive to gluten-free options, from meat to the freshest fish. Very helpful in making it easy to eat gluten-free.They make you feel at home and part of the family

The fava beans were the highlight for me&mdash;so creamy, I almost thought it was hummus at first. Shrimp was good too, and the beef souvlaki came out juicy. House wine was light, easy to sip. Portions are pretty generous for the price. Place was a bit busy when I went, but I&rsquo;d still come back for that fava.

The outdoor seating under the olive trees is the main draw here. Shaded and quiet, good for a slow lunch. Service was fine, nothing special. I&#39;d come back for the setting alone.

The moussaka tasted like something my yiayia would make. Slow-cooked lamb fell right off the bone. Place gets busy at lunch, but worth it.

The owner was super friendly, even came out to chat with us for a bit. We grabbed the rabbit and gyros, both were really tasty. Place is a little tucked away from the main strip, but easy enough to find if you&#39;re paying attention. Good spot if you&#39;re with a small group and want something low-key. 😊

The hanging kebab and beef giouvetsi were really good, filling and full of flavor. We sat near the window and the staff made sure we were comfortable the whole time. Busy spot but worth it.

Stopped by twice while in the area. Seafood platter was solid, meze spread had enough variety to keep it interesting. Staff handled the rush without making us wait too long. Place gets busy, so don&#39;t expect a quiet dinner. Fair for what you get.

The beef brisket burrito here is pretty solid. Meat was properly tender, not dry at all. Portion&#39;s decent for the price too. Place gets busy around dinner time, so you might wait a bit for a table. Not the most authentic Mexican I&#39;ve had, but for Greece it does the job. Would go back if I&#39;m craving that kind of food.

Went twice during our stay. Portions are generous for the price, that&rsquo;s for sure. The service stayed friendly both times, which I appreciated. Food was fresh, not heavy. I&rsquo;m picky about ingredients and this place didn&rsquo;t disappoint. Just wish they had a few more veggie sides. Still, a solid spot if you&rsquo;re nearby.

Been coming here for a few summers now. Gyros still hit the spot, and the pizza&#39;s decent for a beach bar. Prices are fair for the area. Sunbeds cost a bit more than other spots along the coast, but the staff remember you and that counts for something. Good enough to keep me coming back.

We stopped by for a late lunch and got the grilled octopus and the lamb. Both were decent, pretty well seasoned. The staff let us linger a bit, which was nice. They brought out a small fruit plate and a brownie after we paid &mdash; didn&#39;t expect that. Place was a bit noisy, but fine for a casual meal.

The grilled salmon here is really good. Had it last week and honestly it&#39;s the best I&#39;ve had around this area in a while. Staff left me alone mostly, which I appreciate. Place was a bit busy but that&#39;s fine. Just wish they had a bit more sauce on the plate.

Stopped by for a late lunch and ended up staying longer than planned. The grilled octopus was spot on, tender with that charred edge. I asked the waiter for a wine suggestion since their list is mostly Greek labels, and he pointed me to a crisp assyrtiko that paired beautifully. Service felt genuine, not forced. They even brought out a small dessert on the house. Place gets busy, so expect a bit of a wait, but it&#39;s worth it.

We came here every night of our 11-day trip, same as last year. The food&#39;s solid and the staff remembers us, which is nice. Live music makes the place feel lively without being too loud.

The lamb was slow-cooked and fell right off the bone. That&#39;s exactly what you want from a traditional taverna. Place was busy but we got a table quick. Prices fair for the portion. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stopped in for a quick bite and ended up chatting with Yanis for a good while. The gyros special hit the spot, and they paired it with a decent house red that worked surprisingly well. One soup missed the mark for us, but they swapped it out without any fuss. That kind of hospitality is why I&#39;ll be back.

The octopus was the highlight &mdash; super tender and that fried onion on top worked really well. Goat with pasta was decent too, though I kept finding tiny bones in the sauce which was a bit annoying. Service was friendly and prices felt fair for what you get. Place was a bit cramped but fine for a quick dinner.

The pizza and pasta were both fresh and tasty &mdash; the Greek-Italian mix actually works. They even brought us a free dessert at the end, which was a nice touch.

The coffee was decent and pancakes pretty good. Sat outside with the sea view, which made it worthwhile. Staff were friendly enough, nothing over the top. It&#39;s a fine spot if you&#39;re after a relaxed breakfast. Maybe a bit touristy but I&#39;d still go back.

Been coming here for years, and it never lets me down. The grilled swordfish is still my go-to&mdash;always cooked right, always fresh. Sat in the back again, watching the street go by. Staff remember me now, which says a lot. Not the cheapest spot, but you get what you pay for.

The steak came out exactly how I asked, medium rare, no complaints there. Portion was decent for the price, which is always my main thing. Staff spoke English well, so ordering was easy. Place was busy but we got our food quick enough. I&#39;d eat here again if I&#39;m in the area.
