A proper place. Unpretentious and essentially Greek. Relaxed informal welcoming and typically Greek cafe bar which successfully caters for locals and visitors in search of a simple coffee or beer, a snack or inexpensive meal or a chance to see televised sport. Its location is ideal, facing the harbour across the road from the main beach and next to the largest (free) car park. Asterix caters for everyone from the very young to the retired and everyone in between. It is family run and family friendly and sometimes hosts children's parties. (The kids can run off energy in the secure play area next door.) Older people gather for a leisurely chat and workers drop in for a frappe during breaks.

Walking down from the house is approximately 14 floors of a high rise building so we dont want to be traipsing up and down all day so we take our stuff down.. get a spot on the beach and head into Asterix as and when required. They always treat the kids like royalty, and always willing to help us with our pigeon Greek. Most of the staff speak good english which helps get across service. Its reasonable for price and the selection of good food and great variety of drinks is very helpful throughout a day. It gets lively of an evening and is a decent hotspot to start and finish...
