Marea
New seafood restaurant in town, and it is called Marea ! My friends and I visited it last month during the cold weather to prepare ourselves mentally for summer. It is owned by the team of Glykanissos, a well known restaurant for its top quality, so we had high expectations for this one ! Marea…

Yasemi
“YASEMI” means Jasmine and this is a place made in heaven. So small and so cute, it feels like home. Everything is handmade including some of the homemade liqueurs.

Extravaganza
It took me a while to visit this fantastic restaurant that the whole city is talking about and I have to say I am sorry. It is literally a hidden gem and well worth the effort you will make to find it. The food is excellent, the atmosphere friendly and relaxed. Although we went on…
