A tropical café just a few steps from the beach. The place is a very nice choice all day long. It is located in Plaka and offers sunbeds, so you can go there in the morning for a swim, have lunch or a beer. We really enjoy the music and the relaxing atmosphere.

Sightseeing

The Portara is the entrance to an unfinished temple that faces directly toward Delos, Apollo's birthplace. For this reason most scholars believe it was dedicated to Apollo, but some think it was built in honor of Dionysus, who was worshipped on Naxos Island.
