Taverna Mylos
SEAFOOD $
(Agia Marina; mains €9; year-round; )
Lapped by turquoise waves beside
an old windmill at the end of a pebbled beach, it's not just the view that steals your heart,
your taste buds will get romantic too. O Mylos infuses classic seafood recipes with a
modern twist - think octopus carpaccio, or spaghetti and prawns in white sauce. Great
for sunset dinners on its stylish terrace.

BAKERY $
(Agia Marina; mains €2; 7am-11.30pm; )
Set in a handsome Italianate building,
this bakery is packed with baklava, cheesecakes, strawberry tarts, croissants, spinach pies
and locally made ice cream. If heaven were a bakery...
Drinking & Nightlife
Enallaktiko Cafe (

)
is a hip place for a drink and game of pool, while nautic-
ally themed
Meltemi Bar
(Agios Marina; 6pm-late)
, strewn with sea ropes, hurricane
lamps and urns recovered from the seabed, is atmospheric. Meanwhile
Faros Bar
(
10.30pm-late; )
, a tumlebdown haunt beneath the lighthouse on the point, feels like the
shipwreck of an old boat, with wall-mounted accordions and dimly lit ambience. Live
music on weekends.
Information

the other direction, along the Platanos-Lakki road. In Agia Marina, taxis wait at the
quay.
The National Bank of Greece is on Platanos' central square. There are two ATMs at
Agia Marina, including a handy one at the port itself.
