We visited this place two or 3 times in our time in Greece! Really nice place! the lady who could speak Spanish was fantastic very helpful and we asked to buy some vegetables to feed the goats and instead they gave us some waste cuts off the vegetables. really try and check this place out next time your in Kos (side note there can be a lot of wasps just ignore them they will go around you)

Worth the trip, eerie and lovely to see the sheep walk by. Moreover, the tavern is lovely, the food tasty and fresh. The views are gorgeous! Tip: if you are coming by bike, make sure you take the hard road from Kos, and not the random "other route" Google may give. That route may be fun for mountain bikes but even that is a challenge.

A very unique location surrounded by an abandoned village. Friendly and good service with lovely food. Being so remote power is via generator which takes the edge off the atmosphere, but a small price to pay for its location.
