Hospitality in ancient Greece is a timeless tradition deeply woven into the fabric of its culture. In the Mediterranean, a region historically known as a melting pot of diverse cultures and cuisines, this spirit of hospitality was not only a virtue but a sacred duty. From the early times of city-states to the present day, the people of Greece have welcomed weary travelers as if they were guests from the gods themselves. This tradition is a testament to the enduring values of generosity, kindness, and warmth that have characterized Greek society for millennia. Whether it’s a simple offering of food and shelter or the sharing of stories and experiences, the essence of Greek hospitality remains as vibrant and essential today as it was in the days of Homer’s epic tales.

    I have to go back many more time to try everything on the menu. The food was outstanding. The service was really good, our waitress was very nice, respectful of our space and always on top making sure the table was clean and we had everything needed. Amazing experience all around.

    Fabulous calamari appetizer. I had it as a main course. The small arugula and tomato salad with it was perfect lunch. The calamari was cooked perfectly.

    Excellent food and service! However, the restaurant is very noisy. It would do them well to put acoustic tiles on the ceiling.

    The decor is very lovely and reflective of Greece. The food was absolutely delicious - roasted eggplant mezzo, beet salad, lamb shank, and baklava. The service was a bit spotty mainly due to noise level (live music) in the larger dining room. Overall, we were happy and plan to return.
