Tarsanas (Kehria) in full
Tarsanas has been running at Kehria (Kechria) beach on the island's peaceful northern side since 1981. Tables sit directly on the sand, the seafood is fresh, and the sunsets are, by universal agreement in the reviews, the reason to make the trip.
Access is the defining feature. The northern coast roads are rough and the beach is often best reached by boat, which adds a genuine sense of expedition to dinner. That inaccessibility is also why the review count is low — 54 on Tripadvisor — and why the ranking looks poor at #222 of 299 despite warm qualitative reviews praising great food and a real welcome.
This is a case where the ranking is close to meaningless. A remote beach taverna that fifty people have reviewed cannot compete on a volume-weighted list with a harbourfront restaurant that a thousand people have rated, regardless of which is better.
Go for the journey, the isolation and the sunset. Check opening times and how you plan to get there before you set off, and take cash.
