Friday of June 2024 around 14h. Good food, good service and nice people. Beef burger with potatoes 12€. Softdrink 2,50€. Direct in front of a nice beach and easy to park. Perfect for kids.

Nice place by the beach, lovely waiters who serve directly in the beach, not expensive. We loved a lot, went back twice during our trip. Enjoy! :)

Great beach bar, with actual beachy vibe. It's not a Instagram silicone lip beach bar, but one of those really relaxed ones. The service is really good. Two young men work really hard all day to get you everything you want. They have a nice menu and the coffee is really good from a great machine. To top it off, my kid lost his phone and they helped search and even found it and called two days later! I had a nice club chicken, tortilla wrap, pizza tuna, gyros and some milkshakes. It all tasted fine, on the same level of quality you can expect from most of the island. Which to me is 3 stars. 2 beds for 8 euro and they were clean with a nice matras. We got extra parasols and attention for the baby and they introduced theirselves by name. The vibe in the beach bar is really chill and family owned and our baby had a nice nap on their couch. The beach is shallow, large and beautifully laid in a sort of bay. In the horizon you see a mysterious cave and lot's of blue and clear water. You can park across the street for free. Will definitely return!
