“ Such a great experience dining and listening good music by the sea keep up the good job ”
“ Was happy and lucky to pick this place for a lunch travelling the highway. Food was very good, waiter excellent, overall proper restaurant, on the sea. ”
“ Was here for the first time. The staff was nice and told us beforehand that in the weekend the first row of beach chairs are with tax, the others are free. We ordered coffees, burger and club sandwich. They were delivered promptly. I really like it and will definitely come back. The only downside I believe is that there are only rocks in the water, there is no sand as others advertised. ”
“ Eating there is like "beach fine dining". You can feel quality of food straight away. Recommend it. ”
“ Absolutely outstanding! Aryvalos is modern Greek dining with a twist. The calamari was bursting with flavour, the seafood giouvarlakia and prawn tempura were incredible, and there are so many fresh seafood and quality meat options to choose from. Even the cocktails were top-notch. I’m a fussy eater but couldn’t fault a single thing. Big shout out to our waiter Vasili for the amazing service. Easily one of the best restaurants I’ve dined at in Greece – if I could hand out Michelin stars, they’d be getting one from me (and maybe even two!). ”
“ All dishes were very good (except for the chocolate cake) and the atmosphere very romantic. ”
