So glad I went here, the food and the service was great! The staff are very welcoming and I felt right at home. There's plenty to choose from on the menu, the portions are generous, the Bolognese was lovely and I enjoyed the recommended Mythos larger. I can't remember the name of the homemade desert but I'd have it again There's a car park and motorcycle parking nearby so it's easy to get to.

The most spectacular service and wonderful food to go with it. We will be talking about our experience at Galini for days and months to come.First, the menu is large with something for everyone. We ordered the grape leaves, chicken souvlaki and the steamed muscles. It was all so delicious. We loved it all!Next, the service was some of the best. We watched groups sit down from Sweden, Finland, France and more. Regardless of who sat down the manager knew some of their language. We travel often and we have never been so impressed by hospitality.You will not regret dining here!

We had a lovely lunch, sitting inside and upstairs. The team of the restaurant was working hard as they were understaffed for that day…but very friendly! The food was simply delicious!

It's a nice, accessible place in the harbor with quality plates and materials. There is a huge variety of things to try, and I would gladly return there!

Tasty food, great location and friendly staff. There is so much to choose from on the menu here, but I was keen on trying swordfish so when I saw it on the menu here I had to go for that, and I'm very glad I did, huge and cooked to perfection, it was delicious, accompanied by potatoes, peppers and eggplant. We had Feta cheese from oven (also known as Bouyiourdi) which is always a great choice, and it didn't disappoint here. Others had meatballs to start and they where delicious (tasted mainly of lamb meat). Complimentary Bougatsa was served after and it too was very tasty. There was a good atmosphere and the staff where very attentive and friendly, 1 in particular was quite eccentric and good fun, thank you!

We had a lovely lunch here. Ordered salad that my husband and I shared. Dressing was perfect, not overly heavy like some places. Then, my husband ordered sword fish and I ordered mussels. The mussels were cooked PERFECTLY tender in a delicious sauce. You need some garlic bread to soak up that scrumptious sauce. Don’t let that go to waste. Hands down the best mussel dish I’ve had. We travel a lot around the world and I’ve had lots of mussels. This is GOOD!! Sword was cooked perfectly as well. After meal, they insisted we have a small piece of cake and a shot of grappa, complement of the restaurant!! Highly recommend this place.
