- The changeover: on the last Saturday in October we eat one long supper on the terrace, carry the tables inside the next morning, and light the stove. In May the tables go back out.
- Bookings until 21:30 in summer and 21:00 in winter. After that the last tables are for whoever walks up. In summer the terrace stays open until midnight.
- When the boats stay in for two days, we close. The notice goes up on this site by two in the afternoon.

Getting here
Paros is on most ferry routes through the Cyclades. From the port at Parikia we are on the coast road going south.
- By ferry
- Ferries from Piraeus take four to five hours to Parikia, the fast boats about three. From Rafina it is a little shorter. In high summer there are boats from Naxos, Mykonos and Santorini several times a day.
- By bus
- The island bus to Agia Irini leaves from the stop by the windmill in Parikia, every hour from 09:00 to 23:00 in July and August and every two hours in May, June, September and October. Get off at the last stop, Limani. It takes twenty-five minutes.
- By taxi
- About fifteen minutes and eighteen euros from the port. Taxis wait at the quay in Parikia; to go back late, ask Yannis to call one before your coffee.
- By car or scooter
- Eleven kilometres south of Parikia on the coast road. Park free on the gravel behind the chapel, a hundred and fifty metres away. The quay is closed to cars after six in the evening.
- By boat
- Four visitor berths on the east side of the quay, stern-to, with water and power. Free if you eat with us. Call on VHF channel 71 or phone before five and Yannis will keep one.
- On foot
- The old path along the shore from the beach at Pounta takes about forty minutes and brings you round the point, past the chapel. Bring a torch for the way back.
Good to know
Things people ask Yannis on the phone, answered once.
- Getting in
- The terrace is level with the quay and step-free from the car park. The dining room has one 12 cm step; we have a ramp, just ask. There is an accessible toilet inside.
- Children
- Welcome, early or late. Half portions of most things, three high chairs, crayons and a harbour full of boats to count. There is no railing on the quay, so keep a hand free.
- Dogs
- Welcome on the terrace, with a bowl of water. The harbour cat was here first and she knows it.
- Paying
- Cards, contactless and cash. We split a bill up to four ways. Tips in cash go in the tin by the kitchen door and are shared with everyone, the dishwashers too.
- Allergies
- Tell us when you book and again when you sit down. The kitchen is small: there is shellfish and flour in the air, and we will not promise what we cannot.
- Wind and weather
- When the meltemi blows we move inside, 28 seats. If the boats have been in for two days, we close. The notice goes up on the home page by two in the afternoon.
