Favourite watering holes
« on: August 22, 2007, 07:39:49 AM »
As a newbie, I've been browsing the site and can't find anywhere that discusses peoples favourite bars, either for that afternoon cold beer in the shade or for a few nightcaps in the evening.

I've read a lot about Ostracos, which we found OK, but personally we favoured Antonios (is that the right name??) on the way back from the beach and NuFaro in town for the evening. The latter is run by Joe who is very friendly and ably assisted by a young lady from NZ whose name eludes me at the moment. Service was excellent and apparently he stays open most of the night, if that's your thing.

Anybody  got any other favourites?

You will find  comments about three bars on the article system where the contents of these discussions should perhaps be lodged. Our favourite bar is Livicon - perhaps best for those who like comfort and relative quiet.

Sorry, didn't see that. I'll add Nufaro to that list.

Thanks

Most years we tend to frequent a selection, it depends on how we feel, who we may be meeting up with etc

In no particular order we tend to go to the following:

Ostraco - Often downstairs chatting with friends, may move upstairs later.
Livicon - Great for an after dinner beer or metaxa.
Smerna - Tend to meet up with people here.
Nufaro - Tend to meet up with people here too.
Kyma - Sometimes have an after beach beer here and watch the sun go down.
On the Rocks - Nice beer here which I can't remember the name of (Craft??)
Beach Bar (closest to Plakias) - Brings back my youth of beach parties.

Have yet to try Antonis but may well do for an lunch/after beach/pre-dinner drink this year.

We don't drink much after our evening meal so don't have an evening favourite but lunchtime and afternoon we like the Paligremnos - pleasantly cool if you've just come from the beach or walked back from Damnoni.

Don't think we came across "On the Rocks". Where is it? Maybe we just ignored it on the basis it sounded too English.

Another one for the list is the taverna Castro (or I think that's what it was called) - yellow building up the hill a bit behind the town. Lovely views across the bay without too much of a climb. Always planned to go back and have a meal there but it didn't quite happen.

It is located roughly in the middle
of this map.

Kastro is already in the Taverna category though of course many places could be in both.

'on the rocks' is just put of town on the road to Suda, lovely bar, great beer (craft pilsner) good music but not intrusive and a nice mix of people

For me it has to be "Antonis place" for lunchtime cold ones and "Kyma" for the evening cold ones providing Pavlos's father dosent try to push your table to make more room causing a really cold glass of Mythos to fall over, the contents landing on myself and gushing through the button fly on my jeans and freezing certain parts!

Fancy a Mythos?
