About Almyra Restaurant & Bar Lorne

Set just off the main strip right against the sand, Almyra delivers coastal Greek dining with an uninterrupted ocean view. Patrons trade the pavement for tables footsteps from the tide—often drifting straight from a swim into happy hour. Kitchen orders lean heavily on toasted saganaki, mullet roe taramasalata with warm pita, and slow-cooked lamb shoulder paired with cold pints or Greek wines.

  • Beachside setting: Set directly on the beach footsteps from the water, sitting just off the town's busy main strip.
  • Greek coastal menu: Serves slow-cooked lamb shoulder, mullet roe taramasalata, toasted saganaki, and Greek wines.
