Restaurants in Ios

  1. Ali Baba's

    In the same venue as the restaurant of that name there's another great Ios favourite, this is the place for tasty Thai dishes, including pad thai (thin rice noodles stir-fried with dried shrimp, bean sprouts, tofu and egg) cooked by authentic Thai chefs. The service is very upbeat and there's entertainment. It's on the same street as the Emporiki bank.

  2. Harmony

    Few places take chill-out to the honed level of this great bar. Hammocks, deckchairs and discerning sounds set the pace and kids are well looked after here. It's just along the northern arm of Mylopotas beach. There's live music too, and Tex-Mex food is the main attraction.

  3. Pomodoro

    Opened in recent years, this new Ios favourite spreads over two floors. There's a fabulous roof garden with panoramic views. It's just off the main square above Disco 69, and offers authentic wood-fired pizzas as just part of its excellent Italian and Mediterranean menu.

  4. Drakos Taverna

    Enjoy reasonably priced fish dishes (although some species are by the kilogram) at this popular taverna that overlooks the sea at the southern end of the beach. Whatever's on the dish, you get the feeling that it may well have hopped straight from the water into the kitchen and then onto your plate.

  5. Lord Byron

    Near the main square, this long-standing favourite is relaxing and intimate and the food is a great fusion of Greek and Italian. Dishes range from shrimp cooked in a tomato sauce with feta and ouzo to penne with a wild mushroom and cream sauce - and it all comes in generous helpings.

  6. Old Byron

    A little way up the main street from the cathedral is this wine bar and eatery (the previous location of Lord Byron), offering an eclectic menu that includes pasta, mezedhes and even bangers and mash. There's background Greek and contemporary music.

  8. Susannah

    No-nonsense food, from Greek salads to pasta and pizza, keeps this harbour taverna popular with locals. It's set back from the street in a wide square, by Acteon Travel.
