Thalassa has become a great place to go after a long days work and enjoy a long cool drink in beautiful calming surroundings with sensational views. The staff are very welcoming and very friendly. Bar food is excellent.

Thalassa now offers korogas. Keep walking down the stairs until you reach the bottom level, there it is. There are a couple of tables and a slightly elevated section for 1 table where one can koroga. Screens showing live football and a bar are also on offer. Being right by the ocean is really nice, however, since the place is... More

This place offers all necessary steps for a nice evening. We usually start at the sea view bar with a Dawa cocktail, and then we are called when the table is ready for dinner. They also offer the business lunch based on "the dish of the day" at a very reasonable price and in less than 1 hour !! Finally... More

We went for lunch as a couple and enjoyed selecting dishes from the extensive menu and the food was very good. The service was also very good and attentive. Our pasta was well cooked and both of our sauces (crab and prima vera) were very good. The chicken liver pate was also very good. The view over the creek/sea is... More

A little homegrown low cost solution to ward away flies: small clear plastic bag half filled with water and 5 to 10 coins. Tie the plastic bag at the top end and hang it in strategic points around the restaurant. Change the water in the plastic bag every two days or when water turns cloudy. Another solution is deploying sticky... More

Fantastic views over the creek, extremely creative menu and unbelievably fresh produce. Their seafood platter is one of the best I have ever had and I travel seeking seafood platers. As successful as the plate of cold seafood starters. Highly recommended.

After checking Trip advisor we went to this resturant last night and we were not dissapointed. The restaurant is exceptional akin to a 5 star hotel, the food is French prepared and all of us had a great meal. I would suggest not having the steaks as, whilst cooked to perfection, the meat is somewhat gristly which can not be... More
