‘The Akrobat’ has become my absolute favourite place. Located directly on the street behind the beach, I would define it as a mixture of bistro and bar, but it is so much more. The owner and his partner* have created a very special place for their customers with a great deal of commitment and dedication. The two of them and their staff are a great team, highly professional, fast and always attentive, friendly, polite and helpful (have unfortunately become rather rare in Germany). Everyone is welcome here, from babies (who get mineral water for their bottles) to pensioners (who get their Tavli game). ‘The Akrobat’ is comfortably furnished with tables and chairs, but also with cosy seating, bright and friendly, open, with a view of the Aegean Sea. At the very back is the bar, which is so cleverly lit at night that the many bottles with their different colours create a beautiful effect. Everything is clean and tidy, even ‘backstage’. There is always great music of various genres playing and if you can't stay in your chair at night, you can also shake a leg. The food is super tasty, appetising and beautifully presented (there are too many delicious things for me to go into detail, but it's important to emphasise that everything is freshly made. As a lover of sweets, the lemon tart blew me away (*she is also the excellent pastry chef). The cocktails and long drinks are perfect and a delight. Watching them being prepared by the delicate yet powerful lady behind the counter is fascinating. The atmosphere here feels cosy, light and warm (not only because of the heat of the summer months), you can daydream, enjoy and celebrate.
So, I hope I haven't forgotten anything, because the people here who do their best to give their guests a good time deserve my respect and appreciation. You can earn your money in different ways and here they do it with skill and heart!

The highlight of our midday meal was undeniably the delectable burgers; they were incredibly tasty and cooked to perfection. The flavors were rich and satisfying, making for a memorable lunch.
But it wasn't just the food that left an impression. The cocktails at The Akrobat are truly something special. We tried the Zombie and the Gin Basil Smash, and both were nothing short of incredible.

Read moreForget just coffee and snacks – this place is pure, unadulterated magic. From the moment you step inside, you're wrapped in an atmosphere so warm, inviting, and effortlessly cool that it instantly feels like your spot. The vibes are absolutely immaculate. Think exposed brick kissed by soft, golden lighting, lush greenery cascading from shelves, curated playlists that hit the sweet spot between upbeat and relaxing (never intrusive!), and a buzz of happy chatter that feels energizing, not overwhelming. It's the perfect backdrop for anything: a focused solo work session, a lively catch-up with friends, or a cozy date.
But the vibes are just the opening act. The food? Transcendent. This isn't your standard cafe fare. Every dish is crafted with obvious passion and attention to detail, using fresh, high-quality ingredients that sing...
