While staying in Tolo, we decided to take a short trip to Nafplio and stopped at Sambala Beach Bar Restaurant for a relaxing day by the sea. The beach follows the classic Greek style: clean, well-kept, and very affordable. A pair of sunbeds with an umbrella costs around €15, which is perfectly reasonable. There’s also a minimum consumption policy, but the prices are fair and in line with the area.

Food arrives in 20-25 mins from order and my burger was more boiled than grilled (frozen meat incorrect prepared), my wife's pizza was so ans so and only my daughter's nuggets were ok. I ordered 2 beers, 2nd one was not cold... pricea were decent. We just stayed tjere because it was the only place to eat for a range of 500m at lest. Too bad that they have a nice location and a beautiful building with...
