Just visited Lili's beach bar & had a wonderful day

[geri]

Very nice cozy beach bar located about 2 miles from the port. Taxi will cost about 12 Euro's each way. When the taxi pulls up you'll be in front of a hotel, just follow the gravel pathway to the right of the hotel down to the beach bar. They have a small, very calm, swimming cove protected from large waves and motored boats. When we arrived we walked up the bar and explained that we planned to stay a few hours and would it be OK to keep open a "bar tab". The bartender immediately brought over another bartender who spoke 100% perfect English, seated us at a table overlooking the water, opened a tab for us (didn't even require a credit card to hold it) and gave us terrific service all day. (If you want a chaise lounge there is a fee, but I don't know the cost as we were happy with having our own table for the whole day.) The drinks, burgers and flatbread were excellent. Many local business people arrived during the lunch time and ate a meal with colleagues. The bar was quite busy with a very international crowd, but we were the only cruise ship passengers there, despite there being 3 ships in port that day. When you're ready to leave just walk up to the hotel front desk and they will call a cab to take you back to the port. The cab arrives within 5 minutes. Wonderful day!

Thanks so much for this ... sounds like a wonderful place.

Did Lili's and your taxi driver take US Dollars?

We had Euro's with us so I used that at both Lili's and with the cabs. Lili's did accept Euro's, US dollars and credit cards. Not sure if the cabbies would have taken US dollars. They spoke a little English, but it was very limited (but much better than my French!). The cabs are metered and the price displays in Euro.

Also....if you exit the ship and can't readily find a cab just walk toward the main road and look to the right, you'll see a cab stand there with cabs lined up.
