Great tasting food, big portions, good prices. All while sitting literally right beside history, The Tomb Of Leonidas.

Situated on the opposite side of Leonidas tomb, this restaurant lets you combine history and relaxation. Have a snack or a drink while you view the spartan tomb. The place is popular and food is classical Greek.

Very friendly staff; good coffee. Didn’t have food but the souvlaki from the joint restaurant looked fantastic. Peaceful location overlooking the (non-spectacular) tomb of Leonidas.
