The restaurant is very good, very cozy. IOANNIS is very kind. Together with his wife, they treated us wonderfully and we did not speak English well and they with a lot of patience understood us, happy to have known another place to know how to eat well in Crete, each time it surprises us more

The owners went above and beyond with extras that made our delicious meal even more memorable. I had the lamb chops and my wife had the pork souvlaki and they were both very tasty and grilled to perfection. My son enjoyed his spaghetti with cheese.

The service and staff were absolutely incredible!!! Everything that we ordered from the menu was DELICIOUS! A great family atmosphere with the best food I’ve personally tasted in Greece. Very accommodating to children and travelers. The staff speak perfect English and I would easily journey 30 min out of my way, just for this experience. Couldn’t recommend enough. Thank you so much Ioannis and Georgina, we can’t wait to visit you again!!!

We had a really great evening. The chef and his wife are very warm and friendly. The food was excellent. Everything was perfect. We were happy that the restaurant was also open in the winter months. There was even a fireplace right next to us. It was wonderful. We'd love to come back!
