This is a wonderful taverna set in the beautiful Zia. Its lovely and close to the car park so you don't have to scale the hill and the view is absolutely stunning. Much smaller than some of the big ones up the hill too. We had lunch rather than dinner and it didn't disappoint. The staff were absolutely lovely people and so kind to our 5 year old. We ordered meze and it was delicious. Not bad value either! I'd recommend the sardines, tzatziki and the homemade pita. All delicious! Their house wine is great too. Don't walk past it!

Beautiful view, beautiful baklava, beautiful people. Visited to watch the sunset and the staff were so nice we went back. The baklava here is AMAZING. The restrooms are clean and the chairs have cushions. Would recommend

A cute cafe where you can watch the sunset. It gets very crowded towards sunset, if you go a little early you can find a comfortable place. I highly recommend the Methea cocktail.

Great place, delicious lemonade and wine. We only ordered drinks, but we were welcomed in a very friendly way :) The lady who served us was extremely polite, communicative, and kind :) And on top of that – she sings really well :D Thank you and best regards :) Efharisto! I’ll drink a bottle of Retsina to your health :)

Fantastic place !!! Make sure to stop here when you go further, it will be crowded and very noisy. We drank the most delicious coffee in Kos here. We enjoyed the beautiful view and the silence that ruffled in the rest of the restaurants. The best place to relax and dine. The perfect location of the terrace gives you a pleasant coolness. The restaurant is very clean - a wonderful bathroom. I have not come to terms with such a clean and fragrant bathroom in Greece for a long time! Great service! The place, although avoided by many tourists (this is a mistake), deserves the best possible rating !!!

If you get to Zia for dinner, and you need some coffee and desserts after it, come here! This is an excellent cafe at the entrance to the Main Street and just across the road from the sunset view point. We got the waffle with ice cream and some hot drinks and everything was top notch! Warmly recommended
