Finikas beach in Koufonissi |
 |
|
A few kilometres from Chora lies Charakopou beach which is the first of the many fantastic beaches on the south and the east coast. If you say that you are going to Charakopou, it is hardly anyone that will know what you are talking about. Almost everyone calls the beach Finikas beach, and I do too. The name comes from Finikas Taverna which is located right on the beach. The taverna has always existed (or at least almost) and is something of an institution on Koufonissi.

The taverna looks the same today as when I came to Koufonissi the first time, almost 25 years ago. Then, Finikas Taverna was the last water hole, today there are more tavernas along the coast. The taverna is located just a few meters from the sea and the nice sandy beach.
It is very close to the beach from Finikas Taverna.

The taverna serves excellent food. When you are going to order you go into the kitchen and choose among the pots and pans. The hard part is to decide what to eat, there are plenty to choose from.
You go into the kitchen and choose from pots and pans and everything is super tasty! |

Taverna Finikas 1997. Not much has happened over the years.
Finikas is about a 15-minute walk from Chora. If you can't bear to walk, you can go by boat. |
