This attractive nautical-style bar has portholes and low-
lit ambience. Toasted sandwiches, fruit salad, breakfasts, milkshakes, quiche and coffee,
while the waves lap at your toes.
Tzivaeri
SEAFOOD $
(mains €9; dinner)
With its walls beshacked in shells, sponges and black-and-white
photos and the air thick with bouzouki, this is a memorable stop for calamari, shrimp, oc-
topus and plenty more seafood.
Loukas Grill House
TAVERNA $
(mains €8; dinner; )
Redolent of old Greece, and thick with grilled aromas, cav-
ernous Loukas has a carnivorous menu of skewered pork sausage, veal steak and spit
roast pork, as well as rabbit
stifadho
and goat in red sauce. Toward the back of the maze
behind the harbour.
Ostria
TAVERNA $

Right on the harbour, this Aegean blue and white belle
is fresh, breezy and great for a romantic dinner as the sun drops. Mussels, sea urchins,
shrimps, souvlakia, zucchini balls and mezedhes are but a few of its treasures.
For groceries, head to
AB Food Market
, a well-stocked store 100m along the Hora road
in Skala.
Drinking & Nightlife
Koukoumavia
BAR

coffee house and you're getting close; interesting art spattered across green and orange
walls, cool tunes, cocktails and excellent coffee. There's also a little garden terrace.
Mostra Cafe
CAFE
(mains €3.50; 7.30am-midnight; )
Follow the backstreets radiating from the harbour to
