Some useful information about the island available here and great ice cream and fruit shakes! A great place to chill out after the hot walk along the beach from our resort....

The cafe is quite expensive and we we did not find anything special. Ice cream was good and we got our table served very fast. Also we found there a touristic map of the island which was helpful.

The place seemed like a haven for ex-pats and tourists. the ice cream was very welcome on a hot day and I enjoyed a smoothie which was all made with fresh fruit. The service was decent . This is a good place for fries a burger or a quick sandwhich.
