Beach bar and restaurant
€€€€
A bamboo-and-driftwood beach bar on Ftelia, the north coast's windsurfing bay, serving Mediterranean plates by day and DJ sets toward sunset. The bohemian counterpoint to the south-coast clubs.
Taverna
€€€€
A lunch-only grill above Agios Sostis beach with no electricity, no phone and no bookings. Charcoal-grilled meat and fish, big salads, and a queue that is part of the experience.
Beach club
€€€€
A large beach club on the fine sand of Panormos, the north coast's most developed beach: Mediterranean cooking, a boutique and beds along a long sheltered stretch of sand.
