"We went as a group and tried nine flavors between us. Every one was outstanding and tasted like the fresh real ingredient (melon, strawberry, lemon, etc). The creamy flavors were delicious as well. Even the Nutella flavor wasn't too heavy. The only downside was that it's a small place on a narrow popular street, and there are very few places to sit nearby. The view is spectacular though (pictured)."

"Not sure why the reviews aren’t higher - classic flavours with great flavour! I got pistachio and milk and they complemented each other so well. The price is 3 euros for a small cup, with 2 flavours, which is super reasonably priced. The shop is along the stairs by the marina :)"
