We stopped by a few times while we were in the area and it turned into our regular spot. The staff remembered us by the second visit, which was nice. They were happy to swap out ingredients without any fuss. Just felt easy, you know? No stress about asking for changes. That kind of thing makes a difference.

Stopped by for a quick bite and grabbed a gyro. Meat was tender, pita stuffed full. No complaints there. Price is fair for what you get. Staff were friendly enough, spoke English which helped. Solid spot if you&#39;re in a hurry and want something decent without the fuss.

The seafood was spot on, everything we ordered tasted fresh. Prices are fair for what you get. Nice spot for a quick bite if you&#39;re in the area.

Finally, a place that gets gluten-free right. Had the garlic bread and honestly couldn&#39;t tell the difference. Felt safe eating here, which never happens. Staff knew what celiac meant without me explaining everything. Just wish they had more dessert options. Solid spot if you&#39;re gluten-free.

Came here almost daily during our stay. Friendly staff and the kumquat ice cream was a nice local touch, not something you see everywhere.

Stopped by for dessert&mdash;the Greek yogurt with honey and candied oranges was thick and creamy. Galaktoboureko hit the spot too. Terrace view helped. Just wish they had a Greek wine to go with it.

The linguine with White Beach sauce is still my favorite thing on the menu. So good. Service was friendly without hovering, which I appreciate. Sat near the window and the light was lovely. Place has a calm vibe, like they actually want you to relax. Only thing is it got a bit busy later, but I didn&#39;t mind. I left feeling full and content.

The lamb kleftiko was so tender, honestly the best I&rsquo;ve had in a while. Staff were friendly too. Definitely coming back for that dish again.

Crepes were solid for &euro;5 and the place stays open late. Ice cream cheap too. Toilets actually clean, which is rare around here. Fine for a quick late-night bite.

Came in for a quick gyros, ended up staying way longer than planned. The pita was still warm, tzatziki had that proper tang to it. Service was quick but never made me feel like I had to hurry out. Just solid, honest food.

The fried feta starter was the highlight, honestly. The pizza though, kinda flat for something claiming to be homemade. Also found an ant in my cocktail, but they swapped it out without a fuss. So, mixed bag. I&#39;d go back for the feta, maybe skip the pizza next time.

The smoked chicken from the barbecue was really good, and the courgette balls too. We got invited for a shot with the owner, which felt nice. The place is small and full of plants, cozy. I just wish the chicken had a bit more smoke flavor, but it was still juicy. Fresh ingredients, you can tell.

Came here twice while we were staying nearby. Seafood pasta was solid, zucchini fritters too. Terrace view at sunset is the real deal. Service was friendly, nothing over the top. Just a good spot to eat and chill.

The fried squid here is easily some of the best I&#39;ve had on the island&mdash;crispy, fresh, not rubbery at all. The lamb was properly tender too. Service was a bit slow, but honestly the food made up for it. Portions are decent for the price, which is rare around here. Also, they let us bring our dog, so that was a nice touch.

Came in pretty late, almost closing time, and they still treated us well. No rushing, no dirty looks. That alone makes me want to come back. Food had that homemade feel to it, simple but tasty. Place is a bit rustic, nothing fancy, but it works. Been here a few times now and it stays consistent. That&#39;s why I keep coming.

Two big steaks and a litre of wine for &euro;55 &mdash; that&rsquo;s a solid deal. Staff found us a table even though it was packed. Steak came out just right.

Stopped by for a quick bite. Orange cake and baklava were both moist, not too sweet. That&#39;s how it should be. Price was fair for the portion. Service was fine, no complaints. Place is easy to get to if you&#39;re in the area. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m nearby again.

The live show got cancelled but they turned it into a music quiz instead. Ended up being a decent night out. Venue works well for that kind of thing.

We grabbed a table right on the sand as the sun was going down. The pasta was the highlight&mdash;simple, fresh, and actually filling. Service was a bit slow but friendly enough. Nice spot if you want to eat with your toes in the sand and not feel rushed.

The prawn spaghetti was really good, I&rsquo;m still thinking about it. We also had the aubergine with feta to start, plenty for two. Portions are generous, no complaints there. Prices felt fair for what you get. The seating was comfortable too, which I always appreciate. Just a nice, easy meal.

Stopped by for dinner around sunset. Staff pointed us to the grilled octopus &mdash; glad we listened. Tender, smoky, exactly what I wanted. Wine pairing was solid too. They threw in a small dessert at the end, which was a nice touch. Place gets busy, so don&rsquo;t expect a quiet meal. But the food did the talking.

Stopped by for a late lunch near the beach. The meat meze plate was generous, lamb was properly charred. Tzatziki had that nice garlic kick. Had a glass of their house red with it, decent enough for the price. Service was friendly, didn&#39;t rush us even though we lingered. Place gets busy, but worth it for the view.

Seafood risotto was creamy, really rich flavor. Greek coffee by the sea hit the spot. Staff friendly enough, vibe was chill. Solid spot for a slow afternoon.

The cheese saganaki is the reason to come here&mdash;so good. Place was busy but service stayed quick. Didn&#39;t try much else but honestly that was enough.

Stopped by for a quick bite and ended up staying longer than planned. The staff actually remembered me from last time, which was nice. Got the lamb dish again&mdash;still tender, still good. Portion was decent for the price, honestly surprised it wasn&#39;t more expensive. Place gets busy around noon though, so maybe come a bit earlier if you want a quiet table.

The pastitsio was solid. Layers of pasta and meat, real b&eacute;chamel on top. Ouzo hit the spot after. Nothing fancy, just good Greek food.
