The restaurant offers a stunning view the west coar, whereas during the sunset, an idyllic landscape is to be created.

Daily cruises

Both from Gaios and Lakka, travel boats depart every day and offer organised cruises towards the Antipaxos Island as well as the unreachable coasts and the underwater caves. Those cruises are suitable for every age, since they can be adjusted to your own preferences. Travellers can also rent a boat or car, in order to discover the island along with the shoreline. The activity of scuba diving is also provided, because the coasts near Lakka reveal underwater mysteries.
