Local gem by the pier! Classic snack bar vibe with authentic local prices — tea for just €0.65 and coffee for €0.80. A perfect quick stop for a casual drink with a view. Tried the bifana, which had a nice flavour but was a bit on the oily side. Still, a solid spot for a no-fuss local bite.

In sunny weather it is a must to have a beer with a coffee in the sun in front of the place, just like the locals do.
