Panayiotis has had the same ebullient owner, Andreas, since 1963. The speciality fish meze is generally a sound choice, though, sadly, the quality can be a tad hit or miss these days. Notwithstanding, the setting is superb, with tables surrounded by lush, mature gardens of eucalyptus, pines, oleanders and olive trees, overlooking the sea below. Andreas also has a couple of reasonable apartments to rent.
