Things To Do
Beach Therapy

Chillin’ at Platis Gialos Beach is like sipping into a sun-soaked daydream for families and young couples because of its shallow waters. Grab a colourful beach towel, plop down and let the sun sprinkle its warmth on your worries. The vibe is pure vacation — cocktails with mini umbrellas, sandy siesta and shades as bold as the Aegean Sea. After topping up your tan explore the capital’s fish market which is nearby and for the history buffs head to the museum and learn about the rich Greek history. If you’re keen for more action then Lassi is just coast away with its restaurants, bars and water sports. 

Blue Myth

Want an experience of phenomenal food with impeccable service that will leave you with a memorable experience? Head to Blue Myth and indulge in the cuisine of the Med!  Nestled by the sea, it’s a haven where azure hues meet gastronomic wonders. We recommend trying their "Aegean Bliss Platter" – a symphony of grilled octopus, flaky seabass, and shrimp kissed by Mediterranean flavours. Each bite unfolds a tale of sun-soaked herbs, drizzled in olive oil, and the freshest catch of the day.

A Treat For The Foodies

Nestled on the shores of Platis Gialos, Thea restaurant is a culinary vista where the sea meets sophistication. The must-try dish that steals the limelight is the “Sunset Delight Risotto” As the sun dips beyond the horizon, this dish unfolds a harmony of creamy Arborio rice, kissed by saffron and adorned with succulent prawns and scallops. Each spoonful is a journey through Mediterranean flavours, with the sea breeze at your service. Thea, translating to "view" in Greek, not only offers a feast for the taste buds but an unparalleled panorama of the Aegean, making every bite an unforgettable experience!

Maritime Poetry of Armenistis 

Perched on the edge of enchantment, the historical Armenistis Lighthouse beckons. A scenic must-do where azure skies marry the deep blue Aegean. As you ascend, the whispers of a bygone era and the rhythmic waves below create a maritime symphony. At the summit, the lighthouse stands tall, a stoic guardian of panoramic splendour. Take in the view from above of the endless sea and sky painted in warm hues showing us nature's grandeur. 

Sojourn To Little Venice 

Stroll along and explore the cobbled lanes of Little Venice, which is approx. 3 miles from Platis Gialos and reveals a kaleidoscope of boutiques and charming cafes. Nestled right in the heart of the island’s main town, Chora, at the waterfront, the seaside bistro beckons you for leisurely sips. Discover art galleries that whisper tales of creativity and take snaps of the iconic windmills, which are one of the most popular Instagram spots in Europe! Venture onto the vibrant balconies and take in the breathtaking sunset views. For party lovers, once the sun dips, wear your party shoes and head out for some entertainment because there are plenty of nightclubs and bars that are pulsating with some vibrant energy. With its picturesque, colourful buildings and views that are to die for, visiting Little Venice should definitely be on your bucket list!
