We passed this place walking too and from our apartment every day and it is with deep regret that we didn't make time to go in until our last day. With it's gorgeous location and colourful steps and beautiful decor it really does look so appealing.
We were looking for a light lunch and noticed a sign saying Mezze and beer or wine for 2 people for €10! At that price you just can't say no.
My husband went in whilst I was running errands and sat and ordered our mezze to the waitresses confusion thinking he was ordering it all for himself! Luckily I arrived and my husband had picked the most fabulous seats overlooking the water. Big purple sofas intimately laid out in this oasis of loveliness. We hadn't even finished our mezze and beer before we were ordering a cocktail and they were so refreshing and tasty that we just had to have more and then more!
Take your time to really look at this place and to take it all in, the more you look, the more you see and it really is charming.
There had been heavy rain the night before and the canopy decided to empty it's contents over my husband which made us all laugh and the atmosphere in the place was just so wonderful that I didn't want to leave but after staggering down from the toilets I decided it was too early in the day to be this drunk so we had to unfortunately move on before I had sampled the whole cocktail menu!
The staff are wonderful and really make this place the amazing venue that it is and I really wish them all the success as they really made what could have been a sad last day a really happy and thankful one.
Love you guys so much!

A group of us met up for cocktails before dinner. Beautiful view of Elounda Bay and cosy comfy chairs and sofas, felt like we were in our own outdoor home. Service was excellent and the cocktails were so so good - we had mojitos, aperol spritz and the lovely owner made my friend a special cocktail he usually drinks overseas. We were so relaxed we stayed way too long and were pretty late for dinner ha ha. 100% recommend.

We visited 2 days in a row and the staff could not have been more welcoming or more friendly. This is such a cool and quirky bar with incredible sea views and a relaxed vibe. Great selection of drinks and a really nice place to relax after a day on the beach. Would 100% recommend

Terrible service! Hardly any people in the place. We’re told we had to wait, which is fine but we’re told to move as we were in a table for more than 2 people. So said of course if more people come in we will move. But told we had to move now! So got up and left! So rude!

Such an enjoyable experience! We ended up returning twice, walking all the way from Plaka both times (about 10km there and back).
The lovely waitress managed to serve all the tables by herself - there are about 8 tables outside, most with really comfortable sofas and chairs - and she never once stopped smiling. They do a really well-priced meze selection for two people, but I opted both times for Greek salad. My husband had an excellent smashed avocado and bacon toasted sandwich on the first occasion, and an extremely lavish waffle, chocolate sauce and ice cream dish on the second occasion.
Would thoroughly recommend this charming little place on the seafront.
It stands out a mile with its quirky decor, and cheerful service. Prices are reasonable too.
