Best espresso fredo on Hydra. After trialing more than half a dozen cafes over two weeks on Hydra in my opinion Votsalo is hands down the best. The espresso fredo black or with milk (we had oat milk regularly) was awesome, highly recommend.
Great service and coffee! Waiters were really kind and even though the main kitchen was closed, they still made the effort to make my friend a club sandwich that she was really craving! Thank you Stathis for making her day!
Small and lovely cafe place attended by very friendly servers. Such a relaxing place to enjoy the port view.
Amazing "Greek eggs". So tasty. Generous serve. My friend loved her omelette. Coffee order was a bit mixed up but still ok
10/10 burger, the fries and the dipping sauce were perfect and the sauce on the salad pretty tasty. Overall amazing.
