Excellent bistro café, good wine selection, excellent homemade desserts, and a carbonara that's hard to find so well made in Italy. Highly recommended.

This cafe is my go-to for great coffee and ginger lemonade so refreshing after a dive. Food and deserts are awesome, especially creamy cheesecake. Service is always friendly and fast. And finally the boss is mad chill.

The best place in the island to have breakfast or lunch. The food quality is very good and the staff always smiling. They serve also a great espresso!

Simple but nice flavours! Big variety of drink and food options. The prices are very fair and I would also call them kind of chip if we take into consideration what goes down in all the Greek islands. It’s a very cute cafe right by the sea with cute little tables and colourful chairs. The big trees give a great vibe and you definitely need the shade because the area is very very hot

This place became our go-to for breakfast, drinks, lunch and occasionally dinner. Super relaxed, great food, comfortable and great omelettes. Ikion also has wonderful freshly baked bread and croissants and twists on traditional baked goods such as baklava with orange and tahini.

Fish so fresh it was caught after we sat down! Four of us visited Ikion Cafe by boat (the best way). We spent a little time chatting over the fine Greek red wine on the terrace outside the cafe to the mother of the owners who then went off to catch seafood in the crystal clear bay. We went through to the back to sit down and order a mixed selection of fresh fish and seafood from the display. As we waited the Greek white wine arrived and then we recognised the same lady arriving with her bucket of live seafood. We asked for some to be included in our selection and it was added to the feast that soon appeared. That's the way we like our fish - as fresh as it can be!
