“River Side, in Georgioupoli, struck me as genuinely cared for; that feeling of a family extending their hospitality, particularly touching for a honeymoon. Its simple, unpretentious charm, so close to the beach, is bolstered by the kind of Greek cooking that stays with you. Mamma's moussaka alone makes a strong case for a return visit.”
