A very nice beach bar in Lefokastro. The music is pleasant, and the young guys working there are polite and very attentive. We visited four days in a row – had drinks, some food, played cards, spending around €20-25 per person each time, plus tips.
On the fifth day, we came again, ordered coffee and started a casual card game. Shortly after, an older waiter (around 40 years old, heavier build, wearing glasses) approached us and said that even playing cards just for fun is forbidden at the bar, and that he could get into trouble if an inspection happened.
