The hotel where we were staying recommended the Ferryman and it really was delicious food. The menu is quite concise and you would never know how good the food was from it as there are no descriptions but Akis guides you through the dishes and explains what they are like. I had the calamari which were spectacular - on a... More

Great location by the harbour. Perfect for a couple of beers and a relax. The place is family run and the manager and staff are very welcoming. The food here is not complicated but as it should be in Greece, simple and fresh. The homemade moussaka is perfection and with a Greek salad and a bottle of ice cold Retsina,... More

Our concierge recommended Ferryman and it was a great reco. As soon as we got there we were treated like family particularly the kids. The owner gave us personal attention. The food was simply delicious and the presentation was great. We had the grill fish with stuffed greens (it was good!). The view was amazing right by the sea side.... More

Superb location, fine decor, excellent service, very good wine selection and, mainly, great food. The food is from A to Z perfectly cared for: fresh choice materials, variety of items, inspired cooking and presentation, all not distant from the... More
