90 Seconds at Free Beach Bar, Ios, Greece

Tagged: , , ,

Free Beach Bar, located on Ios, an island in Greece, may lack the Caribbean flavor many of the readers of this blog are accustomed to seeing. Since this isn’t a blog strictly about Caribbean beach bars, however, expanding the beach bar palate, so to speak, should be one of the benefits of enjoying (or at least putting up with) updates from around the world. It’s understandably more difficult for a North American based...

Two and a Half Minutes at Kolona (Colona) Beach Bar in Batsi, Andros Island, Greece

Tagged: , , ,

Technically, it’s more like 162 seconds but no matter how much time it is, the above video of Kolona Beach Bar, located in Batsi on the island of Andros in Greece, is a pleasant reminder that the Greeks know how to do beach bars. A small shack forms the epicenter of the beach bar with a covered area next to it for lounging. Beach chairs line up down the beach as space in front of the beach bar is limited. Mere feet from the...

Beach Thursday Pic of the Week – Shipwreck Beach, Zakynthos Island, Greece

Tagged: , , ,

Shipwreck Beach, located on the Greek island of Zakynthos, has to be one of the most photographed beaches in the world.

Hence the name. It’s also this week’s most liked image from our daily “Beach pic of the day posts” over on...

Beach Thursday Pic of the Week – Cyclades, Greece

Tagged: , ,

With as much coastline that exists in Greece, I’m surprised its beaches aren’t featured more in this column. Maybe that’s partly my fault for not finding the right images. Outside of Shipwreck Beach on Zakynthos, I don’t know that we’ve turned our literary sights on many other Greek beaches. We might have to try and rectify that going forward and this week is as good as any other to start. To that end, I...

Taking to the Skies Over Agora Beach – Greek Kouzina & Beach Bar

Tagged: , , , ,

I’ve featured Agora Beach – Greek Kouzina (“Cuisine” in English) & Beach Bar on the blog before when I interviewed one of its owners, Pavlos Dimitropolous. As the multiple images included in the article will attest, the views from the beach bar are stunning as well as the beach bar itself. They didn’t really offer a glimpse of the beach that Agora Beach fronts so that’s why I was stoked to see...
