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.

Good food wanted wine selection. Excellent waitpeople and service. Biggest downside is the noise level inside the dining room; could not hear my partner speak and she was two feet away! Maybe the regular dining area is less noisy. We will try the outdoor seating when it gets warmer and hopefully have a quieter time.

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.
