10 atmospheric beach cafes in Europe |
Beach cafes aren't just about giving out free sun loungers and selling drinks. During the day, you can hide from the midday heat, and in the evening you can watch with delight how the fireball of the sun sinks into the sea. The British newspaper The Guardian conducted a survey among its readers and made the ten most atmospheric cafes located on European beaches. 1. Caffe al Ciclope (Pacino city, Sicily, Italy)Caffe al Ciclope Bar is located on the waterfront of the Sicilian fishermen's village. The room itself is quite old and it seems as if it will crumble now, covering the street with dust. But visitors love not him more, but the terrace overlooking the bay. It consists of only a few gazebos and a large wooden hut, but this is quite enough. Here in southeastern Sicily, the night temperature is the same as the hot afternoon in England. In the gray darkness, teenagers sit on mopeds, children devour ice cream and fig-flavored granite, and someone while away the night talking to the sound of waves. 2. Safari Bar (Cape Kamenyak, Croatia)On the edge of the Istrian peninsula is the Cape Kamenjak National Park. Not only its magnificent landscapes are protected, but also the inhabitants of the coastal waters. After a day of snorkeling, the best place to watch the sunset is the Safari Bar. Grass floors and bamboo huts create a relaxing environment, while handmade children's toys bring a smile to any guest. For the perfect end of a busy day, order the delicious squid sandwiches and grilled cevapcici sausages. 3. Shells Cafe (Strandhill Village, County Sligo, Ireland)Shells Cafe is a beach cafe and bakery at the same time in the small Irish village of Strandhill. The owners Jane and Miles dreamed of creating a place where they themselves would like to look. The menu is full of simple yet divinely delicious dishes. In addition, there is a shop with interesting trinkets at the cafe. This establishment is a favorite spot for surfers in County Sligo. 4. Bay View Inn (Waidmouth Bay, Cornwall, UK)Overlooking Waidmouth, Bay View Inn is famous for its burgers and delicious ale. The best way to whet your appetite before coming here is to walk from South Devon down the Atlantic coast. During your meal, you will have a wonderful view of the sea and surfers trying to ride the naughty waves. The place is great for getting into the spirit of the UK. 5. Chiringuito di Cala Saona (near Migjorn beach, Formentera, Spain)The name Chiringuito di Cala Saona is quite self-explanatory. Cala Saona is a gorgeous bay with reddish cliffs, gin-clear water and white sand, while chiringuito is a beach bar in Spain. The furnishings are very simple - a few chairs, a small awning and a regular bar. But the view from here is spectacular: the small volcanic island of Vedra, which is located near Ibiza. When the sun begins to sink below the horizon, young couples, decorated with tattoos, and women of Balzac age with tiny dogs appear here. As soon as the red disc sinks into the sea, it is a sure disc that it is time for the next mojito.
