Been coming here for years now. That antikristo lamb still gets me every time - proper smoky, falls off the bone. Sitting by the water with the trees around you, it&#39;s just easy. Portions are big, you definitely won&#39;t leave hungry. Prices are alright too, considering what you&#39;re getting. Place gets busy though, so come early if you can.

Kids had a blast in the play area and the pool was spotless. Grabbed a cold beer while they splashed around&mdash;pretty solid spot for families. Just wish the drinks were a bit cheaper.

Stopped here after a long drive up the mountain. The view over the bay is the real draw. Lamb in the oven was solid, traditional stuff. Service was friendly and quick. Worth the trip if you&#39;re already in the area.

Stopped by for a quick bite and honestly left pretty full. Got the moussaka, it was warm and comforting, felt like something homemade. Place wasn&#39;t too busy around 2pm, so it was chill. Service was fine, nothing crazy. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

We&#39;ve been going to Nostos for about three years now. Food&#39;s been pretty consistent, staff actually remembers us which is nice. They bring out complimentary ice cream at the end, that&#39;s a small touch I appreciate. Place gets a bit busy on weekends but the seating is comfortable enough. Not a fancy spot, just a solid neighborhood place we keep returning to.

The stuffed cabbage leaves in lemon sauce were the highlight. Homemade baklava was solid too, maybe the best I&#39;ve had. Owner explained the menu well, but honestly the food did the talking.

We grabbed a table by the window, the sea view was really nice. I had the grilled fish and a big Greek salad. The tomatoes and cucumbers tasted like they were picked that morning, super fresh. The owner was checking on tables the whole time, which I appreciated. Just wish the bread was a bit warmer, but the freshness of the veggies made up for it.

Came back twice while we were here. The pizza tasted properly homemade, not the usual tourist stuff. Staff let us take our time too.

Came here for a lazy afternoon. Cocktails were decent, not too sweet. Staff were friendly enough, and the sunbeds were actually comfortable. Service on the beach was pretty good too. Only thing is it got a bit busy later on, but that&#39;s expected for a beachfront place. Fine for what it is.

Came for the view, stayed for the food. Greek salad was fresh, fish was cooked right. Service was quick too, which I always appreciate. Place gets busy around noon but they don&#39;t mess around. Solid spot for a proper lunch without wasting half your break.

The bacon cheeseburger was cooked exactly how I asked&mdash;medium, juicy, no complaints. Solid spot for people-watching too, though it did get a bit busy later.

The stuffed eggplant from the wood oven was the star &mdash; smoky, soft, really good. Music was chill too, not too loud. Just a relaxed spot.

The moussaka here was spot on &mdash; easily the best I&rsquo;ve had in a while. They poured a nice local wine to go with it, which made the whole thing click. Service was friendly, though a bit slow.

Stopped in for a quick bite and the savory crepe was really fresh. Nice ingredients, not too heavy. Greek coffee on the side hit the spot.

The staff checked on us a few too many times, honestly. But the food felt a step above your typical taverna&mdash;fresh ingredients, nicely plated. Slightly pricey for the area, though.

Service stayed sharp even when the place filled up. They handled a small spill at our table without missing a beat. Nice to see that kind of attentiveness, especially when you&#39;re mid-glass of wine.

Went twice in one week&mdash;the shrimp saganaki was the reason. Fresh, juicy, that tomato sauce really soaked in. Second time tried the lamb, also solid. Staff pointed us to a few meze picks we wouldn&#39;t have noticed otherwise. Place gets busy but it&#39;s worth it.

Vicky the owner is really sweet, told us a bit about the family mill and everything. She even speaks Italian, which caught me off guard. The homemade pasta was solid, you can tell it&#39;s fresh. Place has a nice old-school feel to it, nothing fancy but comfortable. Maybe a little quiet when we went, but that&#39;s fine.

Decent scoop for &euro;1.80. Chocolate one actually tasted like real dark chocolate, not that fake stuff. Fine if you&#39;re in the area.

Stopped by late afternoon, place had a nice buzz. Shared the hummus and tuna tartare, mussels were decent too. Went for the full rack of ribs after, sea bass looked good on the other plate. Portions are big, no joke. They even dropped off a chocolate cake with pistachio ice cream on the house. Solid spot.

Gyros were spot on, meat was juicy and well seasoned. Quick service too, which I always appreciate. Place was busy but worth the short wait.

Decent spot right on the beach. Service was quick and the staff friendly. Good enough for a casual lunch stop.

The terrace really is lovely, that harbour view makes it worth stopping by. I had the club sandwich and it was decent, filling enough for a lunch. Prices are fair, which is always nice. Service was friendly, didn&#39;t have to wait long for anything. Just a nice, easy place to sit and relax for a bit.

Stopped here for a quick bite and honestly the service was fast. Got my food in like 10 minutes. The sea view is a nice touch while you eat. Place is clean too. Nothing fancy but does the job if you&#39;re in a hurry. 👍

Stumbled on this place a few weeks ago and now I keep coming back. The staff actually remember what I order, which never happens in bigger spots. Coffee list is way longer than you&#39;d expect for a small place. Frappe was solid. Only thing is it gets a bit crowded after work, but that&#39;s probably a good sign.
