The best Restaurant in the Area ... The owner is a friend of mine and if you tell him that you are my guests you will have 10% discount. Also you since you are staying at my villa, you can get delivery food ( Leonidas does that only to my guests ). In case that you want to try a special Greek dish like "Mousaka" you will have to tell Leonidas one day before and his mother is going to cook it for you!
His phone number is
