Evening visit

Worth the trip for the views if you can make it this far up the hill !! We only had drinks but the service was good and friendly. Take a jacket as it’s a bit breezy! Recommended!

Fresh ingredients, relaxed ambience

Smoothies and lemonade was made with fresh fruits, the crostini again with fresh ingredients. Very hard working, friendly ladies in the cafe, would highly recommend if you need a refreshment at the top of Pyrgos after the short hike..!
