User reviews
"The beach has a wide variety of delectable food options including tarama, cacıki, aubergine salad, and outstanding seafood. Yannis plays a crucial role in making the experience enjoyable. Additionally, the beach has a charming and welcoming atmosphere due to its warm family-oriented business."

"We ordered the fish platter for two, which was quite generous (maybe even a bit too much for me 😂). The house wine was excellent, just like our attentive waitress. Don't forget to try matiska, a delightful sweet liquor from Ios (I might have spelled it wrong, but the staff will definitely be familiar with it!)."
