Review:

Helios is a great poolside casual restaurant where I enjoyed two delicious lunches on holiday.

For the first one, we shared guacamole (prepared at the table), an amazing Nikkei tiradito (sea bass and truffle), a crab and mango salad, and the spicy tuna tiradito with blueberries. My dining companion also had a glass of Greek white wine and a Greek sundae with sour cherries and churros, which was beautiful. All this food was filling but not overly so.

For our second lunch, we shared shrimp bites, the salmon tiradito with mango, the Nikkei tiradito again (essential), chicken tacos, and the gorgeously refreshing cucumber chill cocktail.
