Lunch stays on the sand
Avli tou Thodori runs a broad terrace directly on Platis Gialos, with restaurant tables behind rows of loungers and umbrellas. Families can move from swimming to grilled octopus, stuffed eggplant, souvlaki and seafood pasta without changing beaches. The room handles crowds.
The menu covers fish, meat, pasta and pizza, so ask the waiter to steer a shorter order rather than mixing every section. Lunch walk-ins fare well, but reserve the front row for dinner and confirm the current lounger charge separately; May 2026 visitors reported €20 for two beds and an umbrella.
What visitors say
