Chickpea soup stays up past midnight
Okyalos has occupied Apollonia's Steno since 2002, combining a shaded balcony with tables beside the evening procession. The family kitchen serves Sifnian chickpea soup, lamb, shrimp pasta, vongole and daily fish to couples who want a composed plate rather than an ouzeri spread.
Service runs from noon until 01:00, making late lunch the calmest window. Reserve the balcony for dinner, ask about daily portions before choosing and request less salt if sensitive; 2026 diners praise the chickpeas and lamb but report occasional salty risotto and hesitant service.
What visitors say
Okyalos holds a 4.5 Tripadvisor score from about 690 reviews and a 2025 Travelers' Choice award; current praise centres on chickpea soup and lamb, with isolated complaints about salt and pacing.
