Where to Eat on Ikaria – The Best Tavernas and Cafés

We are lucky in Fytema to have two of the best restaurants on the island as our neighbours. And since love is said to go through the stomach, they are actually one of the reasons why we chose Fytema as our home!
Popis Restaurant
Το Οινομαγειρειο της Ποπης
Fytema near Evdilos
Tel. +30 22750 31928
Here you can enjoy authentic Ikarian cuisine with a wide selection of dishes at reasonable prices. The beautiful terrace is shaded by grapevines and offers a wonderful view of the sea.
Kalypso
Καλυψο
Fytema near Evdilos
Tel. +30 2275 031387
Located directly on the beach, Kalypso serves traditional dishes as well as creative variations with an international touch. Fresh fish grilled over real charcoal is one of the highlights here.
Another favourite restaurant of ours, which is also a café and bar, is located on the other side of the island in Manganitis:
Sto Gialo Kanei Fortouna
Στο γιαλό κάνει φουρτούνα
Harbour of Manganitis
+30 2275032636
Beautifully situated in the harbour with a wonderful view, this place offers many traditional and classic Greek dishes, accompanied by good music.
In the harbour of Evdilos you can sit beautifully along the quay at the restaurant
Koralli
Κοραλλι
+30 2275 031924
Here you will find delicious island cuisine as well as some international dishes, served with friendly service.
One village further west, in Kampos, you will find the restaurant
Stou Paschalia
Στου Πασχαλια
+30 2275 031346
Here you sit together with the villagers under the shade of a wonderfully fragrant pergola. Zacharias, the much-loved and very friendly owner, serves traditional dishes. The small menu includes many ingredients from his own garden – in Kampos, the green heart of Ikaria.
For excellent fresh fish and a wide variety of seafood, some of it caught by the fishermen themselves, visit
Kialaris
Κιαλαρης
+30 2275 071227
Located in the old fishing village of Gialiskari, right by the water and overlooking the fishing boats, this restaurant leaves nothing to be desired.
