On Lampi’s northern pebble beach, is the Lampi Fish Tavern. A scattering of blue table and chairs are planted by the shorelines, as locally-sourced seafood is grilled and served alongside a bounty of vegetables harvested from the restaurant’s own allotment. Order a few plates to share; a plate of smokey aubergine salad, fava beans, and a grilled, freshly-caught catch of the day. 

Just a short stroll from Skala, Meloi Beach swaps loud beach clubs for tamarisk trees, crystal-clear waters and a wonderfully laid-back atmosphere. Bring a towel, claim a shady spot and don't leave without lunch at the nearby taverna.

Seafood-heavy lunches rule the menu at Kyma, an oceanfront lunch or dinner stop-off carved upon a rocky raised mound. Nab a table closest to the ocean for the best views, so that the fresh catch-of-the-day is served to the sound of softly lapping waves. 

Aetherion is the go-to spot for a relaxed breakfast with panoramic sea views. Expect fresh, simple takes on breakfast classics, from a morning freddo espresso and overnight oats to avocado piled high on crusty bread with cherry tomatoes. Or simply grab a coffee to go and head straight to the waterfront.
