Best greek Kafeneion you can imagine!!
Many small delicious and flawless plates: keftedákia, makaronia with saffron from the island and cheese (try them!) kalamari, shrimps, most of it caught by the owner himself, perfect fava, and, and, and… good housewine, a good selection of beers, also local ones.

The food was also nothing extraordinary and took another 30min to get served. This place has a prime location though so give it a shot if you like it busy and are going there more for the experience rather...
