Excellent buffet with abundant fresh Greek and international options (yogurt, cheeses, eggs, meats, vegetables, breads, pastries, juices); served 7–10am; generous refills throughout service window; worth the inclusion

Arrive with cash or multiple cards; some staff initially charge for services already paid via booking.com
Breakfast runs 7–10am and staff restock items continuously; arrive early for widest selection
