Metaxa Bar

About Metaxa Bar

May through October is the whole calendar here — the shutters come down out of season, and everything about the place is built around Ionian summer heat: day beds on the sand at Skala's beachfront, table service so you never have to leave yours, and lounge and chill-house sets that keep the volume low enough to hear the water. Food covers a broad, unfussy range rather than a fixed cuisine, and prices sit in the mid band, which is part of why it fills with Western European holidaymakers — broadly the 25-45 bracket, drinking age 18 — through the long afternoons. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are the busiest, and live music tends to land when the light goes. Dress is beachwear throughout; nobody changes for the evening. A 4.4 average across more than 700 reviews suggests it delivers consistently on exactly what it promises.
