Where to eat at Kehria beach

Kehria is a quiet sandy beach on the north coast of Skiathos. There is no bus. You need a car down a rough road, or a boat, which is often the better route. It faces north, so it takes the meltemi swell. No sunbeds, take cash, and one taverna, Tarsanas, serving on the sand since 1981.
