The Sea House
Blessed with some of the most serene views, The Sea House is a great place to enjoy a meal with drinks. Situated on the first floor of the ferry terminal, the restaurant offers its guests excellent service along with palate-tickling food. Due to its scenic ambience, sometimes it is hard to choose your table. In fact, in the first place, it is tough to get a table as the restaurant is usually crowded. Especially in peak tourist months, it is frequented by lots of foreigners. In short, it is advisable to reserve a table to avoid any inconvenience.
