Best place to be with an ultimately kind host. Relaxed beach vibes in a wonderfully self-made indie cantina. Try it, you won’t regret it.

Perfect place to have lunch, drink a coffee in the afternoon, or have a few drinks in the evening. The family who runs the canteen is very friendly, and you couldn't wish for better staff in my opinion! Me and my family come to Agios Ioannis every year, and we come here (almost) every day!
