we first tried the Yria in may 98, newly opened. liked it then and have been going back at least once a year ever since, so he must be doing something right. the bar is great, cocktails the best and the mythos coldest on the island. vassilis is a great barman and host, with that little bit extra. we will be there again in may 2005 and are looking forward to seeing, not only vassilis and his family but also many friends who like us return to a favorite watering hole each year.

Hi Vassilis.  Just checking out your site on this wet and windy day.  Wish I was sitting in the Yria right now, eating one of your fantastic crepes.  Best I have ever tasted.  

Here's to a good season for you.    Anne  

Just back from Alykes. Wish I was still there. The Yria gets better each time I visit. I always liked the directors chairs but now Vassilis has leather couches in the outer area and is looking great in white and blue. Dimetra and Dragonis as friendly as ever and Vassilis still in my view, best host in the village. Good to see the banter between him and Costas. Keep up the good work if I don't make it in September then will be back next May. Anne

I stayed at Ionian Star Hotel, Alykes in early may this year. Although I have had lunch in the terrace overlooking the water on previous visits to the village, it was my first time staying there. The rooms are so comfortable and bright with fridge and air conditioning. The bedding and towels are changed regularly. I will be there again next May. Anne Flack
