  • New York, Chersonisos

    On the beach close to the entrance of the harbour, New York starts the day as a beach bar serving breakfasts, snacks and cold drinks, and after sunset metamorphoses into a noisy, lively music bar.

    Large music bar close to the harbour, which only gets going after dinner, then rocks into the small hours, with loud music and a young clientele.

    Paradiso, Agia Galini
