Glad I found this spot. We took a cruise to this island from Athens and this was one of our stops. I was a little pressed for time so I decided to try this spot out and it didn’t disappoint. I got the chicken kebab with fried squid. Very good food for a very very reasonable price.

I have been visiting Hydra for many years and always spend time at Roloi. Friendly staff who go beyond expectations, lovely location overlooking the sea, to take in the sun or get some shade, and spend time with friends or alone.

I've been to many places on this island, and every time I asked if they had draft beer, some would say yes, only to bring a small, half-filled glass - often overpriced too. If you're looking for a proper beer, served the way it should be - cold, fresh, and in a big, honest pint glass - I highly recommend this place. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and finally, a beer that lives up to expectations!
