Katogi

Ios


Entering Katogi feels like you've walked into a party in someone’s quirky house, full of hidden nooks and plants and clamour. The original cocktails hit the spot, while the meze can be hit and miss: the grilled talagani cheese with figs and pasta purses filled with cheese and pear rock, while the saganaki meatballs are merely okay. Great atmosphere, though.
