👍👍 One of our favourite (if not THE BEST) food experiences in Crete. It’s run by a family and the daughter sat down with us to explain each dish in English. She was funny and brutally honest and I loved that about her. Some of the dishes sounded really unique compared to the regular offer in other Cret...

👍👍 Excellent experience. When the game master is as passionate as you are, this can be only a good moment. We did the white diamond which is indeed a difficult room (we were a group of 2). It was really immersive and had a lot of puzzles. But was good :-). We had not enough time to do other rooms but w...

Cine Gyros
Gyro restaurant
👍 The Gyros was quite huge in size, and the employee was freindly. I was not able to finish the large portion myself, better take a small one. However, the taste was a little bit plain / dry. I think a sauce or/and more vegetables would make it juicier.
