This is a must-try! It's one best Souvlaki in the country! Depending the day and time you visit, there might be a queue but it moves pretty fast. The shop is a hole in the wall with a few outdoor tables in front. The staff is beyond friendly and works extremely efficiently to get food out fast. We recommend getting the pork with the pita. The spicy tomato sauce is magic.
