Head inside the restaurant to look at the salads and pick which ones you want!

We highly recommend coming here for lunch one day! It's important to know they do NOT take reservations and will only seat you on a first come, first serve basis. The trick is to get here at 11:30am-12pm and get your name on the list for the first seating which is at 12:30pm. There is a beautiful, small beach in front of the restaurant you can swim in while you wait BUT one person must stay by the taverna or they won't hold your table.

We typically come here for lunch then head to another beach after we eat to relax and get lounge chairs.
