Very nice Greek taverna with amazing views. Went here some weeks back. Didn’t have time to eat there unfortunately but Frappe and the atmosphere were lovely. Food looked good and big portions, a bit more upmarket prices. Many tables were reserved already for lunch.

Beautiful beach taverna with adjoining lido at Lindos beach. Great selection of seafood and traditional Greek dishes. At the end of the beach overlooking its own area of the bay. Service was great and the food was delicious. Highly recommended

We had lunch here with my husband and spent time on the beaches. Seafood was delicious. Sunbad and umbrella at the beach cost 15 euros for 1 person

Great place. Food was delicious, the service as well, a bit slow but not that much. Private beach under the restaurant. Yet you have to pay for sun beds
