    Very cozy, exotic and relaxing ambiance. Food very tasty and great variety of wines. Staff very friendly. Should had booked slightly earlier to enjoy sunset colors. Ask Giorgos to make you Strawberry Daiquiri cocktail (makes marvelous drinks) and also try salted caramel ice cream. Definitely will go again.
