Souvlucky — Restaurant in Municipality of Naxos and the Lesser Cyclades

We‘ve discovered the „Beach Area“ on coincidence after we were dropped off on Plaka Beach around 100 meters further. In contrast to the other „Beach Clubs“ which are charging you around 25-50€ each sunbed set plus minumum consumption depending on sunbed price set this „Beach Area“ does have a minimum consumption of 50€ which is easily reachable if you have a good time here. Another aspect which comes from a former hospitality employee like myself is the „Beach Waiter“ Thomas!!! Not only is he a caring and a remarkable waiter, but he also try‘s to fulfill his customers whishes with best interest and commitment!!! He should not be seen as a waiter, but more like someone who is trying to fulfill his customers/guests needs. If you really want to have a pleasent time on Plaka Beach - go ahead and visit Thomas!! We‘ve ben SOUVLUCKY to be there!

P.S. This is not an advertise review, more like one from a couple who has visited this „Beach Area“ twice after visiting seven different beaches on Naxos!!

Feel free...

Just arrived in Naxos and took a stroll down the beach front. We found several places but chose Suvlucky. It took almost 10 minutes for someone to even greet us and seat us. Even though they walked by us 15 times, I walked to the bathroom to wash my hands, and I always find a way to look into kitchens to see how clean the restaurant is. The old yiayia/granny was making salads and eating with her Fingers GROSS! We had gypsies come to the tables trying to sell us phone chargers while we were eating. That was very rude. The Naxos salad was good but I could not stop thinking about the granny eating with her figures. Fries were not fresh they came out of a plastic bag. The gyro platter was ok, but the tsaziki was not good at all! The kabob was decent. The barbecue cheeseburger was okay but did not have much flavor. The feta Sesame pies were really good! I won't be back, sadly . People need to be more respectful behind closed doors...

I have been visiting the area for the last four days, frequenting the businesses next to this one. During my time here, I couldn't help but notice something extremely troubling: a young woman employed by this business spends several hours every day on the beach attending to guests on the sunbeds. Shockingly, she has no shade at all and is left to work her entire shift under the scorching sun.

It's appalling and shameful that a business would treat its employees this way. How can this be acceptable? This shows a complete disregard for employee welfare. I would never spend my money at a business that lacks basic human decency and fails to provide such fundamental necessities for its staff. If this is how they treat their employees, it raises serious concerns about their overall values.

Regardless of how good their food can be, they do not deserve more than 1 star based...
