Veranta Cafe Snack Bar
Cosa dicono i visitatori
A nice and cozy cafeteria to enjoy a cold coffee while contemplating the mystical summer sunset of Sigri. Veranta also offers breakfast choices to kickstart the day.
A little gem of a cafe in Sigri. So welcoming after the long drive from Molyvos. The view of the sea from the cafe is lovely. So peaceful. Next to a small beach. Lovely cold water on a hot day was so nice. The nearby castle was closed. The petrified forest and its museum are nearby.
Info
Il Veranta Cafe Snack Bar è un punto di ristoro informale situato vicino a Sigri, un tranquillo villaggio di pescatori sulla costa occidentale più remota di Lesbo. Affacciato su questo angolo senza fretta dell'isola, offre una pausa rinfrescante e rilassata che si sposa perfettamente con il ritmo di vita di Sigri — un luogo dove i pomeriggi si allungano e l'orizzonte dell'Egeo sembra sconfinato.
Gli ospiti possono gustare i piaceri tipici di un café-snack bar greco: caffè fatto al momento, bibite fresche, spuntini leggeri e pasti veloci pensati per i visitatori affamati che esplorano la zona. Che si provenga dal vicino Museo di Storia Naturale di Sigri della Foresta Pietrificata di Lesbo o si torni da una nuotata in una delle spiagge occidentali, una sosta qui offre ombra e ristoro. L'ambientazione della veranda, suggerita dal nome, fa pensare a posti a sedere all'aperto, rendendolo il luogo ideale per indugiare su un caffè mentre si ammira il paesaggio circostante.
Per i viaggiatori che si avventurano in questa parte meno visitata di Lesbo, locali come il Veranta svolgono un ruolo importante: sono punti di ritrovo informali dove abitanti del posto e visitatori si fermano, si ricaricano e scambiano qualche parola. Sigri vede meno folla rispetto alle località più note dell'isola, e quella quiete dona a ogni pasto o caffè una qualità autenticamente tranquilla, sempre più rara nel turismo mediterraneo.
Prima di partire
Cosa aspettarsi
La veranda ombreggiata si affaccia sul ritmo lento di Sigri, rendendola la sosta naturale dopo una visita al Museo di Storia Naturale della Foresta Pietrificata o un bagno sulle spiagge della costa occidentale. Si ordina un caffè greco, una bibita fresca o un toast, serviti senza fretta da chi conosce bene il villaggio. L'atmosfera è quella di un punto di ritrovo autentico, dove residenti e viaggiatori condividono gli stessi tavoli senza cerimonie.
Periodo migliore
Da fine maggio a settembre è il periodo migliore; in agosto la veranda coperta offre ombra preziosa nel calore del pomeriggio.
Come arrivare
Sigri si trova all'estremità occidentale di Lesbo, a circa un'ora e mezza di auto da Mitilene percorrendo la strada interna che attraversa Kalloni e Andissa.

Rude. My 6 year old daughter was desperate to go for a poo. I asked if he could use the toilet. The lady told me it’s for customers and I said I’d be happy to order, no problem. But she said we’d have to order and pay first before he can use the toilet. Mind you he’s desperate and 6 years old! Shame on her. And yes, it’s a small business that I would have been happy to support but not like this when they show no human decency to a small child. Shame.

Coming in we were rather disconcertingly asked by a vsibly annoyed waitress what our intentions were..... she then proceeded to ignore us in the most ostentatious way. When we tried to just buy the food and leave she literally kicked our kids out. Overall she acted as if she did not want us there. The whole thing would have been comical if not the time we wasted. I have never, in my 47 years of existence, experienced a worse form of "service." Avoid at all costs.

Nice location but rude service. The moment we came we asked for the menu and the lady told us that we couldn’t see the menu and then leave. And we asked why is that. She responded that she thought we would go to the toilet and leave. This suspicious behaviour is not welcoming but rather rude and offensive.

The worst service we have ever seen in our lives, the slightly overweight, middle-aged waitress with pink earrings had incredibly ridiculous attitudes, she seemed annoyed that we came, she told us that we had to order as soon as we sat down without even looking at the menu, we said we were not ready. When we moved our chair because the sun was coming, she scolded us. Don't go, it's terrible. If you want to be scolded, go.

According to the staff, Veranta has open from May till October, depending on the weather. This friendly café has a perfect location at the town beach in quiet surroundings. We have during the years only had ice creams and drinks like tea and coffee here, but people have crepes, club sandwiches with wine and beer and much more. Without Veranta Sigri would not be the same.

View over the beach is great but unless you speak Greek you're made to feel unwelcome. Very rude and we were frowned upon all 3 visits. Tried to put a smile on the girls face every time but alas I was met with dirty looks. Glad we won't be back.
