The best beach bars in Santorini, Greece

Exo Yalos roughly translates as ‘the outback beach’. Beside a huddle of tumbledown fishermen’s shacks and a marina bobbing with wooden boats, it feels deliciously out of sync with frenetically popular beaches such as Perivolos, Perissa and Kamari. Between sandstone cliffs and crashing waves (the beach catches the north wind), Yalos is a converted boatshed with a laid-back, surf’s-up vibe. After dark, there are bonfires in the shadows, tables in the sand, and garlands of lanterns twinkling between the canvas sails overhead. Order the catch of the day three ways: sashimi, ceviche and simply grilled.
