Beachfront Taverna & Beach Bar · Kos, Greece

Taverna classics,
table in the sand.

Family-run Greek cooking served with your feet almost in the sand. Sunbeds on the sand, no entrance fee, just long lunches and slow sunsets.

Our story

A family taverna on the sand since 1990.

Sophie and George have been cooking classic Greek dishes right on the beachfront since 1990, with one rule: nobody leaves hungry. Everything comes out of the kitchen the way it does at home, olive oil from the family grove, fish from the morning boats, bread still warm. Open daily until 22:00 for dine-in.

Breakfast with your toes in the sand, then sunset cocktails at the same table. Perfect.
