They’ve a few caves underground (yes!) where precious Assyrtikos and other Grecian wines are preserved! The food was good at 7/10 for all except maybe the seafood linguine (6.5/10).

The grilled sea bass x2 was good - succulent and full of herbaceous nuttiness from the native olive oils. I’ve not had a bad (grilled) seafood in Greece (yet).

The scorpion fish (first time for me) is wonderful. Its white meat is as delicate as a tungsingpan. But tastes even sweeter. 8/10

The octopus is 7.5/10 - freshly caught in Aegean and Ionian waters nearby. Splendid.
