The oldest cafe on the island was once a magnet for Italians (thus the fabulous coffee served in the original Bialetti espresso pots). These days travellers and locals alike nestle into wicker chairs, with a fabulous brew or cocktail in hand, and philosophise with Michalis, the multilingual owner. Simply relax and chat, Greek style. It's a thrill in itself.
