Five stars without a doubt. Not too much sunbeds means not too much crowd and noise. So you can relax perfectly and even sleep deeply by the sound of the waves. Food is good enough to calming your hunger and the prices are fair. We've spent the noon 'til evening and it was one of the best. Last but not least, the crew was very friendly. It' s definitely a place I'd like to come back to.

My second time here on Lesvos, and yet, still, this is my favorite spot on the island. A small cafe tucked away at the far end of Tarti beach. Run by the kindest people. You’ll find tasty and affordable snacks and drinks accompanied with a laidback atmosphere. All surrounded by the clearest waters of the Aegean Sea. A dream.. and a place to come back to time and time again.

A lovely beach bar with a small selection of food. We got some really good sandwiches and tried their coffee, smoothies and cocktails, which were all very good. The people are very sweet, the music not too loud and the beach is amazing !

Excellent service from the friendly team. Lovely freshly made baguettes, toasties and freshly squeezed orange juice, ideal for breakfast. Opened around 10am. Free sun beds with good shades right at the water’s edge. They have a good list of cocktails at 7€. Enjoyed a potent Negroni or two. Good WiFi even down on the beach. Very laid back, good music at night and a relaxed vibe - just loved it. Well done guys!
