“ For us, it's been the best meal we've had in Sisi. The food was excellent, and they even offered to show us the fish on the specials before they cooked it to show how fresh it was.

“ A place I can truly recommend! In June, we spent a week in Crete to enjoy our holiday. By chance, we discovered this place and it turned out to be the best decision! We were welcomed very warmly, and the service was excellent. I wasn’t sure which fish to choose, so the lovely lady took me to the kitchen and showed me all the fresh fish they had caught that day. Food: We had a delicious appetizer. The olives and the olive oil are homemade from their own production and you can definitely taste the difference! The main course was the best we’ve ever had. That’s why we immediately booked a second visit, and this time we went for the lobster for two. Ambience: A quiet and beautiful spot, located close to Sissi Beach. Price: Considering the quality and freshness of the food, the prices are absolutely fair. At the end of our stay, we even bought two large jars of olives from their own plantation – absolutely worth it! We will definitely come back and can truly recommend this place to everyone!???????? ”
