Devilishly good Food at Mousikorama

Mousikorama ticks a lot of boxes regarding value for money, quality and atmosphere. If you’re in Faliraki for a limited time, then it ought to be up there in your list. They serve Greek meze, small dishes that can be shared accompanied with traditional Greek music.

Tasty steaks at Opera Steak House
