I traveled by this place for over 30 years. Always wondering what's on the other side since I never took the ti'm for those years I decided I'm pulling today. What a found was old Greece. Just like I remember the beaches in the 60s. It's got a beautiful location, beautiful view And very inexpensive, there's plenty of parking. You don't have to go anywhere else. On the Island Park up front, go up to the restaurant the chairs are free. The beach chairs are free. So have a good holiday and enjoy

Hidden Gem on the island with fabulous food right on the beach. The owners are kind and welcoming. It’s a gorgeous place to spend an entire day! Free sun beds with food purchase from cantina. A plus for us is pet friendly too!

This place quickly became my favorite in Lefkada. I visited with my dog and immediately felt welcome—the owners are so friendly and made us feel right at home. The beer was ice cold, the atmosphere relaxed, and the view absolutely stunning. It’s the kind of place where you can truly unwind and enjoy the moment. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great vibes, a beautiful setting, and genuine hospitality.
