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.
Beach restaurant

A beach restaurant on Agios Ioannis facing Delos, in the bay where 'Shirley Valentine' was filmed. Mediterranean seafood at lunch, sunset over the islands at dinner.
Beach taverna
€€€€
A family taverna on Megali Ammos, the town beach ten minutes' walk from the windmills. Home-style Greek dishes, tables on the sand and a sunset without the Little Venice crowds.
Sunset restaurant
€€€€
An organic-minded Mediterranean restaurant at the edge of Little Venice with tables facing the windmills and the sunset. Clearly labelled vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
Beach club
€€€€
A beach club on the Paraga headland built around sunset: mezze-style Mediterranean plates, live music and ritual-flavoured evening sessions facing west.
