Traveler reviews
Zora Varcholova
★★★★★4 months agoEvery town needs this kind of the athmosphere area. Art,artists, design, youth and olds together at one playgroynd surrounded by the technical history buildings... there was the nice selection of different mindset designs and everyone were so kind and lovely.

★★★★★a year agoThis was actually "Dinner in the Sky." This is where you're strapped in a chair, kinda like an amusement ride, then the entire table with the chef and wait staff are hoisted up in the air. They offer a welcome drink prior to seating if you get there early. It's all-inclusive while tip is extra. The food was delicious, and the fixed menu was great and perfectly paired with the local wine. I actually thought it was just a bit too much food, and my wife thought it was definitely too much food as she couldn't even eat dessert. The views from the top are amazing, and the entire table rotates slowly so that every person will have that perfect pic with the acropolis in the background.
