"One of my ultimate fav spots in Tarpon Springs Florida! The cocktails are so tasty and perfect, I always get the white sangria! The authentic taste of Greece with their chicken souvlaki and Greek salad. The chicken souvlaki is perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, while the Greek salad bursts with freshness and flavor from crisp vegetables and tangy feta cheese. Overall, a delightful culinary experience that transports you to the Mediterranean with every bite." - Christina B.
