The family-developed menu includes traditional Greek dishes such as moussaka, dolmades, souvlaki, slow-braised farm-reared lamb, tzatziki, and Greek salad. The same menu is served poolside or as room service at no extra charge from 11am to midnight, and the bar stays open until 1am. Breakfast includes local produce: eggs, coffee, fruit, juices, preserves, home-baked cakes, breads, Greek yoghurt, cured meats, local cheeses, fresh tomatoes, peppers, and olives.
