The Stagakis Cretan Lyra Workshop in Rethymno is a must-visit for those interested in the history and culture of Crete. Housed in the heart of the Old Town, this workshop offers seminars on professional ethics and consistency, producing high-quality traditional instruments with passion and love. Visitors can expect a warm welcome from Manolis and his staff, who provide clear explanations about the instruments and even offer demonstrations.
A local gem! My husband is a luthier in Canada and we thoroughly enjoyed visiting this third-generation workshop. Manoli was very generous to give us so much of his time and we really enjoyed seeing his beautiful authentic instruments. It’s a short walk from old town Rethymno and was really a highlight of our stay here! Highly recommended!

We visited the Stagakis Cretan Lyra workshop and museum yesterday (20-May-25). Whilst very small, it was an absolute pleasure to be able to see how the instruments are manufactured and also have a demonstration of the various types of instrument which are manufactured on site. The small team at the workshop are very knowledgeable and the entire production process was explained from start to finish. Keeping in mind that these instruments are hand made and small works of art, prices are very reasonable. If you are visiting Crete, I would very much recommend a visit.
ASG P — Google review
Definitely a highlight of our recent stay! Despite not being string players we found this super interesting and enjoyable. Mikaelis demonstrated lots of the traditional instruments for us which was amazing, and he allowed us to have a go. He described the process of building these wonderful instruments in outstanding English which we really appreciated. Overall, a really brilliant experience I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Highly recommend! I’d wanted to buy a baglama for a long time, and I figured there was no better place than Greece. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. They let me try all the instruments to find the one I liked best (which was tough, as they all sounded great). They also gave me a bag, strings, and picks, and even recommended what strings to get in case I couldn’t find special baglama strings later, which was very thoughful. The owner gave me a small tour of their workshop, showed me other instruments, let me play a lyra, and shared a bit about the shop’s history. The price was very fair, especially for a handmade instrument. The quality is excellent, it stays in tune perfectly. Even after a two-hour drive and a four-hour flight back home, I barely had to adjust anything. Overall, it was the best musical instrument buying experience I’ve ever had. Now, I can’t put my baglama down.

Jul 2025 • Family On Monday, July 7th, I had the privilege of visiting the Stagakis Cretan Lyra shop — a place that’s so much more than a store. I’m not a lyra player (yet), and I’ve never played a bowed instrument before — I’ve been playing electric guitar for over 33 years — but something about the lyra kept calling me. And now I understand why. When we arrived — my wife, daughter, and I — the shop wasn’t open yet. Still, the people working there welcomed us warmly. That was the first sign that we were entering a place where hospitality is just as important as craftsmanship. Eventually, we were greeted by Manolis Stagakis, grandson of Manolis Stagakis senior, the legendary luthier who’s widely credited with inventing the modern Cretan lyra. Even though I was a complete beginner, Manolis and his team took the time to show me several instruments, explain the differences, and let me hear and feel the sound. I was blown away by the quality and soul in each handcrafted piece. I ended up falling in love with — and buying — a semi-professional lyra made by Manolis himself: maple body, cedar top, and a katrani fingerboard. It sounds as beautiful as it looks. But this visit was more than just a purchase. Manolis gave us an unforgettable tour of the museum and family history, telling the story of his grandfather and the genesis of the modern lyra. It was moving and inspiring. And just when we thought the visit couldn’t get any better, my wife asked if someone could play one of the baglamas hanging on the wall. One of the co-workers played a beautiful tune — and then, to our astonishment, Manolis gifted the instrument to our daughter. A moment we will never forget. Since then, I’ve started taking lyra lessons in the shop with Tzanis Tzanidakis, a fantastic teacher. The journey has begun. If you’re even remotely curious about the lyra, or if you simply want to see true Cretan craftsmanship and meet people who are passionate and generous, visit Stagakis. You may leave with an instrument — or something even more meaningful. Just like I did. Highly recommended.

It was a wonderful experience from the first moment we walked in. The musical instruments, the history behind them and the direct hands-on experience made the moment unique and very special to us. It's really close to the old town, so don't miss the opportunity to visit this gem.
Bogdan B — Google review
We arrived very late and close to closing time but were warmly welcomed. It was amazing to hear about the time and skill that go into crafting such beautiful instruments. Everything was explained clearly and every question we had was answered with knowledge and passion. We had the chance to try the instruments and were shown the workshop with demonstration of how the different tools were used and how different sounds could be shared by the carving of the wood. I couldn't recommend visiting this place enough. It has Cretan music history in its 80 out so years' foundations and it's clear it will continue to be a part of its future. No fee for the entry and no hint of pushiness about leaving a tip but I did so gladly.

Restaurant
Raki Ba Raki is a popular spirit in Crete, similar to Italian Grappa, often offered at the end of meals in local restaurants. While it can be purchased, it may not taste as good back home. Vegetarian options are abundant on the island, with many restaurants offering meat-free dishes during Greek Orthodox feast or fasting days. Raki Ba Raki on Arabatzoglou 17 offers traditional favorites with a contemporary twist using fresh local produce for a laid-back dining experience.
Great central location. A lovely lunch sat on tables on the pavement. Nice atmosphere amongst the bustling streets. English spoken. Good selection of food including vegetarian options. Nice local wine too. Pleasant courtyard in the back. Toilets available.
Steven R — Google review
We heard really good things about the restaurant and we were excited to try, but ended up pretty disappointed. We ordered « a puff pastry » with feta cheese, lemon, rose, and fig. However, it was three different pastries with fig, rose jam, and lemon jam. It wasn’t quite our taste. For main dishes, we ordered the lamb/pork burger and rigatoni with pesto and pork tenderloin. The burger was delicious, but the accompanied fries were a bit hard to eat. The pesto dish was quite oily and not as flavorful. We didn’t finish the dish. We were given complementary cake and raki which was nice and tasted great though. The servers were friendly and everything was given within a good time. Unfortunately, we didn’t enjoy the rest of the food much.

Another good restaurant in Rethymno Old Town. Food, atmosphere and service were top notch. Especially starter (greek meze platter) and deserts were delicious. Location is perfect and you definitely can feel the authentic greek taverna. Yes, they don't have usual greek food, but is more like fusion between greek and modern cuisines. Definitely worth a visit when you're in Rethymno.
Marius D — Google review
This restaurant is truly excellent — everything from the food to the service to the atmosphere is top-notch. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, and the setting is beautiful both inside and out. The interior, built within an old stone structure, gives it a charming, authentic feel, while the outdoor seating area is cozy and full of character. The menu is rich and varied, with many well-crafted Cretan dishes. We ordered several plates, all delicious and nicely presented. The traditional Cretan salad was great, the cheese bites with different toppings were amazing (especially the fig one), and the stuffed vine leaves were excellent — and I say that as someone who grew up eating them at home. We also tried the sea bream carpaccio, which was fresh and interesting, though the fruits on top slightly overpowered the fish. Still tasty, but the balance could be improved. The only drawback is the price — it’s quite expensive. It doesn’t ruin the experience, but it’s worth mentioning. Everything else, from the food to the service, was truly outstanding. After dinner, the staff even helped us find a table at the bar just behind the restaurant, which added to the overall experience. A beautiful place tucked between the alleys — definitely worth a visit if you don’t mind the higher prices.

Enjoyed my dining experience at Raki Ba Raki. Beautiful restaurant setting with seating out on the street. Nicely decorated restaurant. Service was good ,our waiter was really lovely ! Quite a big menu with vegetarian options at meat. Our food was really good and I enjoyed it but wasn’t outstanding. Highlight was the fried potatos (amazing). Complimentary orange cake and traditional liquor at the end. Good drink selection and wine list. Nice play to go out for dinner.
Ruby P — Google review
We came at around 8pm on a saturday night without reservation and were able to get a table directly inside. Food was served quickly but we felt a bit rushed (Waiter came for our order while we were still looking at the menu, the starter and main dish arrived before we could even finish our first drink and we noticed lots of looks from the waiters to see if the table needed to be cleared, although we weren’t even 15 minutes into the main dish). Food-wise, very good dolmas, and the octopus with fava bean puree was perfectly cooked. The homemade pasta was disappointing though. Pretty overcooked and overall felt heavy. The chocolate baklava had a good taste and texture.

Grocery store
Avli is a renowned restaurant located in Rethymnon, Crete Greece. It is known for its rustic and upscale dining experience, featuring ten suites, a wine cellar, and a traditional products shop. Situated on Xanthoudidou Radamanthios street, Avli holds the 74th position among 337 restaurants in Rethymno. The establishment offers an authentic taste of old stone and Venetian luxury that has been modernized for contemporary diners.
We chose this restaurant because it was highly recommended in our guidebook. The recommendation turned out to be very accurate, as our visit was a thoroughly positive experience. We arrived without a reservation and were fortunate to be seated immediately, which was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant is located in a charming courtyard. The decor is inspired by a hippie and garden theme, which is perfect for a laid-back evening. The food was delicious, and the portion sizes were well-sized, making the price reasonable. The presentation of the dishes was also appealing and added to the overall dining experience. (Look at the photos) The waitstaff were friendly and made us feel welcome.
Philipp E — Google review
Avli is a well-known, upscale restaurant that’s been around for years, and we were excited to finally dine here. Many dishes were well prepared, made with fresh ingredients, and the staff were attentive. However, the seafood pasta was a real let-down. Despite being described as fresh and homemade, the pasta tasted overcooked or reheated, and the prawns were tough and chewy – likely from microwaving. The sauce had good flavor, but the texture and freshness simply weren’t there. For a restaurant with such a long-standing reputation, and an owner with multiple establishments on the block, attention to quality should be consistent across every dish. Unfortunate for what could have been an excellent experience.

We had a romantic and very special dinner at Avli. Service was amazing and everybody has deep knowledge about the menu. We did not have any reservation and could find a table for two. But still I would suggest to have a reservation. Their wine selection is wide.

Avli was hands down our favorite restaurant on our 3 week trip across Greece for ambiance. It’s a stunning and unique restaurant experience. We sat in the open courtyard full of fruit trees and plants - so beautiful and relaxing, it’s a perfect place to spend time with friends and good food. We walked through the inside seating and the interior is beautiful as well. The service was impeccable, drinks were delicious, and the salad & entrees are high quality.

The location, the courtyard, the food and service were all wonderful. Our first table was partly in full sun but as soon as a shady table became free the waitress kindly and efficiently moved us. I enjoyed the most amazing slab of melt-in-the-mouth lamb perfectly cooked and presented. My wife had a beautiful salad which was also very good We’d eaten here 5 years previously and were nervous about going back in case the excellent experience last time proved unrepeatable. No worries there! We were not disappointed

We had lunch on the very cute courtyard. The service is good and the food as well! We recommend the fresh fish fillet and the lamb : the meat cooking is PERFECT!
Estelle H — Google review
Be aware that Avli seems to be multiple things; the courtyard and outside. We got a fantastic table in the courtyard and ordered a grilled fish (Grouper?) and the rooster. Arrangement of the food was top notch, the fish was served in a soup with with local vegetables which wasn't my favourite. The rooster was nice but contained a little cartilage. I'm sure I'll come back again and find something that is more to my taste.

Absolutely amazing dinner at Avli, beautiful setting and super friendly staff. A must visit when in Rethymno.

Nafpigio, a hidden gem in Rethymno, is a favorite among locals for its delicious cocktails and vibrant atmosphere. The bar features a DJ and friendly service, creating a welcoming and relaxed environment. Despite current regulations, the staff ensures that guests have an amazing experience. With over 25 years of history, Nafpigio has become a beloved spot for both locals and tourists alike.
The Nafpigio is probably an insider tip among the locals in Rethymno. This is where they meet in the evening for a few delicious cocktails. There is a DJ in the interior, but due to the current Corona regulations it is not allowed to dance there... The service is very friendly, relaxed and attentive. You feel welcome and are very well advised. My waiter's favourite cocktail is now also my favourite cocktail. I can highly recommend the MELON BONITO cocktail :-) The Nafpigio is worth a visit.

The cocktails are also a highlight – creative, well-balanced, and perfect to enjoy as the sun sets over the harbor. What really sets Nafpigio apart is the warm and friendly staff. The service is attentive without being overwhelming, and the team truly goes the extra mile to ensure you have a memorable experience. Whether you're coming for lunch, dinner, or just a drink by the sea, Nafpigio offers a vibe that perfectly blends local charm with comfort and quality. Highly recommended for couples, friends, or even solo travelers looking to enjoy the best of what Rethymno has to offer.

🌟 Absolutely Amazing Experience at Nafpigio Bar in Rethymno! 🪐 I recently had the pleasure of visiting Nafpigio Bar in Rethymno during my trip to Crete, and I can't help but share my incredibly positive experience. This place has been dancing its way into the hearts of locals and visitors for an impressive 25+ years! The energy and passion that surround this bar are truly unparalleled. As a lover of Electronica/Dance music, with a special place in my heart for House and Techno, Nafpigio became an absolute must-visit during my time in Rethymno. The bar's unique atmosphere and diverse music selection make it a hub for music enthusiasts like me. From Funk, Breaks, and Soul to Disco, Jazz, Hip-Hop, and the infectious beats of House and Techno as the night unfolds, Nafpigio offers a musical journey that's impossible to resist. Not only does Nafpigio serve as a great spot to enjoy your morning coffee while gazing at the picturesque view, but it also transforms into a haven for those seeking vibrant nightlife and dancing until dawn. The authenticity of the venue truly shines, making it a place where new songs are discovered, only to become the soundtrack of your next night out. The story of Nafpigio's journey since its modest beginnings in 1996 is truly inspiring. The founder, has managed to create a haven for electronic music lovers in Rethymno and beyond. DJs like Nikolas Gale, Mackenzie, ZOOROO, my favourite Useless Co. and others have added their magic to the mix, curating unforgettable nights and memorable experiences. The view of the harbor and the iconic Fortezza Castle only add to the charm of this exceptional place. The dedication to quality music, the welcoming atmosphere, and the joyful crowd create an environment where each visit feels like a celebration. Cheers to another 25 years of pure musical bliss at Nafpigio Bar! 🛸🎶🪩🎛️

(Translated by Google) Weekly market on Mondays (the big Thursday market is elsewhere!!)! Until about 1 p.m. Vegetables, fruit, cheese. But also products of interest to tourists: honey, raki, olive oil, dried figs, raisins, and nuts, etc. The vendors are friendly and happy to welcome tourists who want to buy their products. You can also try many of them! Most of the vendors are also at the Saturday market near the bus station. If you want to buy authentic regional products, you should do it here and NOT in the tourist shops in the old town. The products are priced. This makes it a great place to shop even if you don't speak the same language. (Original) Wochenmarkt am MONTAG (der große Donnerstagsmarkt ist woanders!!)! Bis ca. 13 Uhr. Gemüse, Obst, Käse. Aber auch Produkte die interessant für Touristen sind: Honig, Raki, Olivenöl, getrocknete Feigen, Rosinen und Nüsse usw. Die Händler sind nett und freuen sich über freundliche Touristen die ihre Produkte kaufen möchten. Man kann vieles auch probieren! Die meisten Händler sind auch auf dem Samstagsmarkt in der nähe des Busbahnhofes. Wer echte regionale Produkte kaufen möchte, sollte es hier tun und NICHT in den Touristenshops in der Altstadt. Die Produkte sind mit Preisen versehen. So kann man auch ohne die selbe Sprache zu sprechen wunderbar einkaufen.

Galleria Shopping Center is home to the Cretan Olive Oil Spa, a family-owned business established in 1985 by brothers Ioannis and Michael Kymionis. The spa's product line is inspired by their grandmother's natural recipes, which included ingredients like dittany, aloe, snail saliva, beeswax, calendula, and olive oil.
Very friendly and informative help. 2 floors. Fair prices and excellent products. They will also ship worldwide for a reasonable price. The name of the website/business is "Cretan Olive Oil Spa", but it is not a spa. "Cretan Traditional Products" is the name on the sign.

7 days ago I bought cbd oil 25%, 100ml, in this shop. I came for several days and the saleswoman kept persuading me to buy, I saw that there were some kind of labels on the bottles, so I thought it was okay. However, this oil of oregano has that smell. There is no effect of cbd. I used to take cbd with less % in England and it was great. I have been scammed, . This is a pure fraud and I don't know how they are not ashamed to smear the reputation of a company founded so long ago. I am from Serbia, the oil was bought in Rethymno in the Old Town.
Sladjana C — Google review
Don't buy there, they try to scam you. They are selling 100ml CBD oil labeled with "25% CBD". However it just contains 2.5% CBD and not, as suggested 25%. Furthermore the label stated it contains "Hamp seed oil", it was filled with olive oil. Don't waste your money there.
Thomas K — Google review
First time I have such a bad experience in Crete. The products are not organic. They distract customers by showing things on the screen while the ingredients list (fine print on the box) is full of harmful chemicals. Nothing bio there. The lady put all my products in the bag and sealed it. After a long stroll I got in the car, opened the bag and oh what a surprise it was! I read the ingredients list and also noticed the scrub was opened and used. I returned to the shop to get a refund, they were extremely rude and unprofessional. Basically they told me I shouldn’ve read what was written on the box (in fine print) and not what was on the screen. Lesson learnt and what a waste of money! Ah I forgot to mention she said the expiry date for the magic snail products was 2020 and in fact it’s 04/2019. Steer away from this shop and these products if you don’t want to spoil your day in beautiful Rethymnon.
Zinaida K — Google review
Guys, don't be fooled! The 100ml bottle of 25% CBD oil should contain 25000mg CBD, but not 2500mg as offered in this shop! Fake!!! They are actually selling CBD 2,5% as 25%

We bought 2 liters of Olive oil. At least that's what we thought. There is a wodden package around the bottle. Now we noticed they charged 2x 1 liter but gave us just 500 ml bottles. Be carefull, it's a tourist trap.

Overpriced and scammers. The employees try to smoothtalk you into buying genuine products the moment you walk in. Once you pay, a small sum of money is added for peculiar reasons. After I bought it, I realised this small sum was already added on the initial price. Be careful here.

Dont do that! There are no box for this. You have to find custom. They have to check everything, put a stample on it, and then find a manager at taxfree after the security check. They will send it in. Really upset that the woman in the shop said wrong, because she was so eger to sell

A few meters away, there was a store selling the same things for at least €5-10 cheaper. Save yourself this rip-off. (Original) Völliger Reinfall!

If it weren't for the involvement of the staff, we would probably have looked and moved on, and at this point we tried the alcohol and were told about the types of olive oil. Definitely worth a visit!! (Original) Najlepsze miejsce jeśli chcesz kupić alkohol, oliwę, przyprawy lub ceramikę na pamiątkę! Gdyby nie zaangażowanie obsługi prawdopodobnie popatrzylibyśmy i poszli dalej, a w tym miejscu spróbowalismy alkoholu oraz opowiedziano nam o rodzajach oliwy. Zdecydowanie warto odwiedzić!!

(Translated by Google) Professional treatment and very friendly people. They immediately credited me for an item that was actually out of stock and I received my order in a very satisfactory time. (Original) Επαγγελματική αντιμετώπιση και συμπαθέστατοι άνθρωποι. Μου πίστωσαν αμέσως το ποσό για ένα είδος που τελικά ήταν σε έλλειψη και παρέλαβα σε πολύ ικανοποιητικό διάστημα την παραγγελία μου.

(Translated by Google) Good quality products and at competitive prices! The shipment arrived very carefully and in the time frame, which was predicted based on the materials I chose. However, some codes, unfortunately, are not so immediately notified of their inadequacy, so you have to keep in mind that, after all, something may not be there. Prepayment is a method I usually avoid, however the store was completely safe throughout the transaction, even when they had to refund me part of the amount due to a lack of product. I highly recommend it and suggest maybe a phone call beforehand for codes you really want to make sure they're good enough. They are reliable professionals! (Original) Καλή ποιότητα προϊόντων και σε ανταγωνιστικές τιμές! Η αποστολή έφτασε ιδιαιτέρως προσεγμένη και στο χρονικό διάστημα, που προβλεπόταν βάσει των υλικών, που επέλεξα. Ωστόσο, ορισμένοι κωδικοί, δυστυχώς, δεν ενημερώνονται τόσο άμεσα για τη μη επάρκειά τους και έτσι πρέπει να έχεις κατά νου, πως, τελικώς, κάτι μπορεί να μην υπάρχει. Η προπληρωμή είναι μια μέθοδος, που συνήθως, αποφεύγω, ωστόσο το μαγαζί υπήρξε απόλυτα ασφαλές καθόλη τη συναλλαγή, ακόμη και όταν χρειάστηκε να μου επιστρέψουν μέρος του ποσού λόγω έλλειψης προϊόντος. Το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα και προτείνω ίσως ένα τηλεφώνημα πριν για κωδικούς, που επιθυμείτε πολύ, ώστε να διασφαλίσετε την επάρκειά τους. Είναι αξιόπιστοι επαγγελματίες!

Rare things based on quality and probably the lowest price in the city. Also, the staff doesn't pressure you to buy things you don't need (something they do in other stores and is annoying) and gives you the necessary time you need to shop in peace. it is worth visiting

When visiting Crete, indulging in the local spirit known as Tsikoudia, or raki, is a must. This traditional drink is often enjoyed during meals and serves as a delightful pre- or post-dinner treat. It's typically offered to guests as a warm gesture of hospitality. The unique flavors of Tsikoudia pair beautifully with sweet spoon treats, fresh fruits, or savory appetizers.
Amazing Tsikoudia! The whole collection is to be tried!

(Translated by Google) This is a tourist region. Hotels stretch along the sea, and along the hotels there is a road to Heraklion and there is a continuous stream of bars, souvenir shops, supermarkets, rental offices, even a fur shop (although, in my opinion, only crazy people and multimillionaires buy fur coats in Greece!). There are also city bus stops here that will take you to Heraklion. (Original) Это туристический край. Вдоль моря тянутся отели, а вдоль отелей идёт дорога в Ираклион и на ней сплошным потоком стоят бары, сувенирные магазинчики, супермаркеты, прокатные конторы, даже магазин шуб (хотя, по-моему мнению, шубы в Греции покупают только сумасшедшие и мультимиллионеры!).

We walked here from Kastri as we needed some items from the mini market. To our joy and delight we found there a restaurant and lovely relaxed cafe just next to it where we feasted on lovely iced coffees and then went for a long walk and swim on the beach before returning for a delicious meal. The waitress was French and also in typical amazing fashion was fluent in Greek and English too! She was very helpful and friendly and really made us feel very welcome.

First off, stop reading this review and just book with Stefan already!! The dude is AMAZING and actually cares and listens to his customers . Stefan went WAAAAAYYYYYYY above and beyond and I was stoked with the results!!! Unbelievably solid dude and an EXTREEMLY talented artist. I’m from LA, and have been inked by some of the best artists out there and a “true artist” is hard to find, especially on vacation, so glad I found Stefan who is a pretty accomplished graffiti/wall mural artist and since I don’t have the kind of $$ or wall space for a giant commission, getting ink from him is the next best thing!! I’m stoked and can’t wait to come back to Crete for some more ink, thanks again Stefan, for everything!!!!!! Bye the shop was great and had an awesome vibe, if you only speak English, Stefan’s English was GREAT!

(Translated by Google) An important factor is trust in online stores, reliability and good service. The main navigation menu is easy to use and clear enough to allow users to easily find the product or product category they are looking for. All the functions of the online store work correctly from whatever device the user visits (either from a desktop computer, or from a mobile or tablet) with immediate response. It is an excellent store. I trust him. It combines many positives (variety of products, availability, online presence and immediate service with a human face). The product purchases I have made are very nice! Every time the service is prompt and the communication clear, which has led me to recommend this store to dozens of people, without a second thought. All at good prices, with guarantees that really apply and that the store respects and does not try to avoid. Fast service and clear communication. I have ordered several things and everything is perfect. Thank you very much! (Original) Σημαντικός παράγοντας είναι η εμπιστοσύνη προς τα ηλεκτρονικά καταστήματα, η αξιοπιστία και η καλή εξυπηρέτηση. Το βασικό μενού πλοήγησης είναι αρκετά εύχρηστο και σαφές ώστε να επιτρέπει στους χρήστες να βρουν εύκολα το προϊόν ή την κατηγορία προϊόντων που ψάχνουν. Ολες οι λειτουργίες του ηλεκτρονικού καταστήματος λειτουργούν σωστά από όποια συσκευή και αν το επισκέπτεται ο χρήστης (είτε από σταθερό υπολογιστή, είτε από κινητό ή tablet) με άμεση ανταπόκριση. Είναι ένα εξαιρετικό κατάστημα. Tο εμπιστεύομαι . Συνδυάζει πολλά θετικά (ποικιλία προϊόντων, διαθεσιμότητα, οnline παρουσία και άμεση εξυπηρέτηση με ανθρώπινο πρόσωπο). Οι αγορές προϊόντων που έχω κάνει είναι πολύ ωραίες ! Κάθε φορά η εξυπηρέτηση είναι άμεση και η συνεννόηση ξεκάθαρη, κάτι που με έχει οδηγήσει στο να προτείνω το κατάστημα αυτό σε δεκάδες άτομα, χωρίς δεύτερη σκέψη. Όλα σε καλές τιμές, με εγγυήσεις που πραγματικά ισχύουν και που το κατάστημα σέβεται και δεν προσπαθεί να αποφύγει. Γρήγορη εξυπηρέτηση και επικοινωνία με σαφήνεια.
