Best souvlaki tavern in the erea! This tavern on the always lively square of the village of Nymfes only does traditional grilled meats, fried potatoes and salads ... but they do those very well. Popular among the locals and the regular Greek tourists. Try their local red wine!.
Same family tavern opened in Acharavi too! On the main road.

A couple of km's to the south of Acharavi, and a definitely quieter beach. Take care to navigate the concrete slabs underwater just at the shoreline, a remnant of WWII.

Although pretty crowded, this is definitely a landmark. The sea has gouged this inlet out of the loamy rocks.
