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…
