Open to the village since 2008

The kitchen

Restaurant Dhima occupies the ground floor and the terrace in front of it. Greek and Italian, a great deal of seafood, and a copper-domed pizza oven at the back.

From the pass

What comes out of it

Some of what the kitchen sends out: seafood off the grill and out of the pan, pasta and risotto, pizza from the copper oven, and a few things that are not on any list. What is cooking on the night changes with the season and the catch, so ask at the table.

The restaurant terrace full of diners at night under bright ceiling lighting

The room is a terrace

It fills up, and it turns over fast

The dining room is the covered terrace under the building, open on three sides to the coast road and the sea beyond it. It seats a lot of people, and the kitchen is built to turn them over — food arrives quickly even on a full August evening.

A breakfast table with omelette, a chocolate crêpe, boiled eggs, cheese, tomato, cucumber and orange juice

Breakfast, included

Included with every room and laid out downstairs from early. Juice, eggs, cheese, an omelette and a crêpe with chocolate, and coffee at the table.

The back bar with hanging glassware, spirit bottles and a black pendant lamp

The bar and the coffee

There is a proper back bar and a coffee house on site, so the espresso and the cocktails come off the same counter.

The pizzeria half

The sign has said Restaurant – Pizzeria for as long as it has hung there, and the copper dome of the oven stands at the back of the kitchen.
