I live in Alonissos but frequently go to Skopelos. People make the difference in any business, and the ladies who work in Karavia are fantastic. Professional, hard-working, attentive, they are the reason I keep coming back. I don't know all of their names, but Irena is so hard working and with her colleagues are the beautiful faces of Karavia. Drinks and food are excellent.

The ideal place to enjoy a drink: beautiful view, lovely service and great drinks. The extremely friendly service is the icing on the cake. Also a great place to practice your Greek!

Really nice place near the port. The staff is amazing, smiley, kind and with a good sense of humour. They make you feel really welcome. We asked in many cafes for backgammon and none offered us that. There we found it! Totally recommend it!

While being in Skopelos you get many options to sit around the coast. I visited Karavia Cafe because they offered qide variety of dishes from breakfast to traditional Greek ones. As it was around 3pm I chose chicken gyro and I must say the portion is quite generous, so be sure to be as hungry as possible. It was not crowded by that time, but it gets really busy in the evening. The service was really good, staff was attentive and helpful. Food itself was delicious, loved tzatziki sauce as well. Definitely a good place to visit.
