Excellent traditional MEZES (tapas ) kind of bar/restaurant. Live music on Thursdays and Saturdays (must book) and a unique Greek island atmosphere! Strictly a local affaire which caters to island tastes and friends. Excellent cuisine, wonderful wines, and raki. A MUST visit in a neighborhood full of fast foods and average restaurants. The only snag, it is a little pricey, sits only 30/40 and it's not for heavy eaters but it's a culinary adventure that just can't be missed if you want to understand what being greek is and what locals do on their night out. Count min 25 euro per person but get ready for a real treat. Order mydia saganaki, shrimp saganaki, house wine, and postalia.

Everything Else
Best family beach on Santorini. Sandy !!, shallow, sheltered, organized, clean and almost never overcrowded. Changing booths and showers. 5 euro (2 long chairs and sun umbrella) but you can just put a towel on the beach and nobody will bother you. Local cafe 5 min away but you can order on the beach. Cool and civilized except for some prats occasionally flexing their muscles on the beach or tapping on beach rackets but believe me they are not locals!
