Stopped by for a drink, ended up staying for a few hours. DJ was on point, not too loud so we could still talk. Had the gourmet burger, 11&euro;, juicy and decent size. Place has a good vibe for an afternoon hangout. Nothing fancy, but it works.

Stopped by for a quick bite and ended up staying longer than planned. The dolmades were solid, really well seasoned. Chickpea croquettes surprised me too, crispy outside, soft inside. Ouzo list is decent, nice to have options. Place has that family-run vibe, nothing fancy but feels genuine. Service was a bit slow but I wasn&#39;t in a rush.

Stopped here after a swim, right by the water. Got the seafood skewers and they were properly grilled, nice char on them. View is hard to beat, you&#39;re basically eating on the sand. Place is small, so don&#39;t expect anything fancy, but for a quick bite after the sea it does the job. Prices are fair for what you get.

Been coming here for years and the grilled octopus never disappoints. Sunset view is still the best part, even if it gets busy. Took a quick swim while waiting for the food this time.

The octopus in wine sauce was really good&mdash;tender, not chewy at all. I liked the old tavern feel with the mirrors and vintage stuff, kinda like stepping back in time. Prices felt fair for what you get. Only thing is the seating could be a bit more comfortable, but I&#39;d still come back for that octopus.

The grilled octopus and fava were solid, no complaints there. Place is tucked in an alley, feels pretty authentic. Service though, a bit hit or miss. We waited a while for the bill. Fine if you&#39;re not rushing, but don&#39;t expect anything speedy. I&#39;d come back for the food, just not on a tight schedule.

Stopped by for a cold draught and ended up staying longer than planned. Bartender knew his stuff, suggested a house beer that paired nicely with the snack board. Music was decent, not too loud to talk over. Place had that neighborhood feel, like everyone knew each other. Only downside, the draught list could use a few more options.

The pistachio flavor tasted more like almond, which was a bit disappointing. But the dark chocolate and caramel were pretty good. Decent spot for a quick scoop.

Came here with a friend for coffee and ended up staying way longer than planned. Their drinks are pretty unique&mdash;I tried something I haven&#39;t seen at other spots around town. Place was busy but not chaotic, so we could actually talk. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stopped by for a late lunch and grabbed the chicken souvlaki. Cooked right, nice char on the edges. Place has a classy feel, not what you&#39;d expect for a quick bite. Staff was friendly enough. Had a glass of their house red with it&mdash;decent match for the meat. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot.

The view really is the whole show here&mdash;you&rsquo;re looking straight over the beach and bay, and it&rsquo;s gorgeous. Service was a bit hit or miss, but honestly, with a cold glass of Assyrtiko in hand and that scenery, I didn&rsquo;t mind the wait. Just go for the sunset and keep expectations low on the attention side.

The Greek breakfast was hearty and the owners actually seemed happy we were there. Felt like a proper family-run spot, not a tourist trap.

Family-run place right on the harbor. We shared veggie meze and the portions were generous &mdash; dolmadakia and gigantes stood out. Free yogurt with cherry syrup was a nice touch.

The grilled octopus was spot on, really well charred. Sat near the window and the light was nice, though the chairs got a bit hard after a while.

Been coming here for a while now, and the fried anchovies still get me every time. Crispy, salty, just right. Stuffed zucchini flowers were good too, not greasy at all. Prices stayed fair, which is rare for the area. Place gets busy around dinner, but it&#39;s worth it. Solid spot if you know what you&#39;re looking for.

The terrace by the castle has a pretty good sunset view. Stopped for drinks, stayed for the live Greek music. Decent spot.

Garlic mushrooms and shrimp were solid. Staff even threw in a dessert on the house. Sunset over the Aegean didn&#39;t hurt either.

The giga pizza with the Philly stuffed crust is a beast&mdash;fed four of us easy. Flavor was solid, just the outer edge got a bit too bready for my taste.

Came for lunch and the place was packed with locals, which is always a good sign. The staff were friendly, not rushed at all. I sat near the window and the light was nice, made the whole room feel cozy. Food was solid, classic Greek flavors. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot.

Yannis is a proper host, chatty and welcoming. He made me a custom cocktail on the spot. Good spot to just sit and watch the street go by.

The water was clean and clear, just right for a swim before a drink. Sunbeds were a nice touch, though getting into the sea was a bit rocky underfoot. I liked that it wasn&#39;t crowded when I went. A good spot to just sit and do nothing for a couple of hours.

Came here because a local told us to. Got the fish and honestly it tasted like it was caught that morning. So fresh. The guy serving us was chatty too, which made it feel more like a neighborhood spot than a tourist place. Only thing is it got a bit busy later, but that&#39;s probably a good sign.
