The Diaskari taverna is a perfect spot to indulge in some mouthwatering and freshly cooked food. The presentation of the dishes is impeccable and the service is prompt and attentive. The cherry on top is the stunning beach that serves as a backdrop to the dining experience. It's hard to ask for more when you have everything you need right in front of you. I would definitely urge you to try their daily catch and the pork neck sandwich, both of which are simply delicious. My husband, on the other hand, couldn't stop raving about their French fries, which were seasoned to perfection.

The beach is truly magnificent with its steep entrance to the sea and scattered rocks, but as you venture towards the cave, the rocky terrain gradually subsides. The marine life is simply breathtaking with an abundance of vibrant fish swimming all around you. The beach is also home to turtle nests, adding to the overall enchanting experience.

I recently visited a beach that was simply breathtaking. It was a serene and secluded location, free from the hustle and bustle of city life. The only sounds I could hear were the gentle crashing of waves and the soothing breeze blowing through the air. To my delight, there was a quaint little diner nearby, perfect for grabbing a quick snack or refreshing beverage. I couldn't help but feel a tinge of regret that I hadn't discovered this hidden gem sooner, as I would have loved to spend more time there.

The beach is a lovely and peaceful spot with a stunningly long shoreline. It's equipped with showers and hammocks for your convenience, and there's a decent tavern nearby if you're feeling peckish. The only downside is that the open area can be quite windy.
