Oh I see, it would have helped if they had given you an explanation, I don't think that I would have been very pleased with just being waved away either. Seems very odd.

Lilly it didn't matter, as we all know there are plenty wonderful restaurants to choose from.  :)

Never had any problems at Olympia and have never seen anyone being turned away either. Friends of ours went in a few times with there young grandchildren last year and if they had had a bad experience I think they would have said and not gone back again .

Stelios and his family have always welcomed us . kids were 11, 4 and 3 at the time and been back every year . sometimes eaten there 3 nights out of 14 . beautiful place,food, etc... even accommodated us the day they buried their uncle ... !!...   hoping he can accommodate 25ish persons for a birthday party on 24th ..

Apologies for turning this review thread into an Olympia bashing again.  I can only share my experience though and the fact was that my group last year (approx 8 adults and 5 children) were turned away from an empty restaurant without reason.

It really didn't bother me because as we all know there is no shortage of excellent eateries in the village. It was just a shame because our larger group of 32 obviously avoided the Olympia from then on, as did we on our visit again this year.

The place does get favourable food reviews on here so they are doing something right!

To be honest we found it very clicky at Olive Press and only went once because of that.

We found the Romanza to be very 'cliquey' last year and won't stay there again. Didn't say anything at the time on here as many people love it but we were talking to some people staying there last month and they said exactly the same so at least it wasn't just us!

To be honest the whole resort can feel cliquey like you're intruding on a private party.
Im outgoing so didn't find it an issue but when we stayed at the Romanza last time we ovwrheard a couple saying that they felt like intruders.  Even though we felt more than welcome

            Barras food ?? Sofia is a very good cook. Try her meatballs they are the best. The food is cooked in the traditional way - scrummy. Alekos in tasty corner has the best pitta gyros-and a large plate gyros is enough for 2.

My 4 year old daughter agrees with you. She ate an adults portion a couple of times. :)
