Val's Place — Restaurant in Yialia

A Magical Escape into Nature — Val’s Place is a Must-Visit

Val’s Place is truly a hidden gem — a peaceful haven surrounded by nature, where every corner invites you to slow down and simply enjoy the moment. Nestled among lush green trees with a stunning view of the sea, the entire space feels like a retreat into beauty and calm. The decor is charming and thoughtful, with lovely details everywhere you look, blending perfectly into the natural surroundings.

The food is absolutely amazing. Everything I tried — from lunch to dinner — was fresh, full of flavor, and made with care. The omelettes especially stood out: tender, delicious, and unforgettable. Fresh fruits and organic vegetables add to the authenticity of the experience. The chef puts love into every dish, and it shows.

Eleni and the team are truly wonderful. Warm, welcoming, and attentive — they make you feel right at home. There’s a sense of community and genuine care that makes the place even more special.

I had the chance to experience the jazz festival there, and it was magical — great music in a naturally beautiful setting. I also joined a meditation and yoga session, which was peaceful and grounding, surrounded by nature’s sounds.

Val’s Place is more than just a destination — it’s a feeling. Quiet, friendly, soulful, and full of beauty in every little detail. Absolutely...

The most magical of evenings spent here.

after a long day of swimming in the sea, we wanted a cute drink and snacks overlooking the sunset. Little did we know we’d be set amongst one of the most dreamy settings across the whole island.

Everything about Val’s gave me peace within. From the warm welcome to the fresh juices from their locally grown produce to the hearty home cooked meal, it was all set to deliver a perfect night.

All of this without mentioning the inspiringly warm welcome and hospitality of the host, the man of the hour; Val.

The restaurant/space/commune is warm and inviting, perched on the side of a hill overlooking the fields and the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. Seating is ample yet cozy and the free roaming cats were a divine treat.

Will be back soon, if only to re-visit...
