Very nice place directly on the beach. The food is homegrown and homemade and very tasty! The food came very fast and the service is so friendly 😊
The best lamb chops possible. I have been enjoying these exquisite home grown, herb fed lamb chops for many years. If you don't like poison in your food this is an option.
About
Antones is a restaurant located in Skala Eresou, the sun-drenched coastal village on the southwestern tip of Lesvos known for its long sandy beach and relaxed bohemian atmosphere. Sitting close to the shoreline, it offers the kind of unhurried dining experience that defines a Greek seaside holiday — fresh food, good company, and the gentle sound of the Aegean in the background.
Visitors can expect a menu rooted in Greek taverna tradition, with fresh seafood, grilled meats, and locally sourced ingredients that reflect the island's fertile landscape. Skala Eresou has a loyal following among travelers who return year after year, and a restaurant like Antones becomes part of that ritual — a place to linger over a meal after a day on the beach, watching the sun drop toward the horizon.
Whether you are passing through on a day trip from Mytilene or spending a few nights in Eresou, stopping for a meal here is a chance to taste the authentic, unpretentious side of Lesbian cuisine in one of the island's most beloved coastal communities.
Before you go
What to expect
Tables fill with a mix of locals and returning visitors who treat Skala Eresou as a second home — the kind of crowd that orders slowly and stays long. The smell of charcoal and the sea drift together, and by evening the low sun turns the bay gold behind your plate.
Best time to visit
Late May through September is ideal; July and August bring full beach crowds, so arrive early or late in the day for a more relaxed pace.
How to get there
Skala Eresou is roughly a 90-minute drive from Mytilene, heading west through Kalloni and then south toward the coast; the road is scenic but winding, so allow extra time.

Ordered a plate of mixed grill for four people; however, although asking beforehand whether there was lamb chops in it and having it confirmed and asking them to exclude pork, the table they served had just 2 big beef meatballs chicken and fries. Even after complaining they did nothing to change it and just said lamb extra. The plate was ok for 3 people in terms of amount. I don' t recommend this mixed grill plate for 28 euros. I would not go there again.

The pita bread was delicious, the portions were just right, and the beer was served wonderfully cold. The service was also good, and there was a beautiful view of the sea.

Antones makes some of the best food in skala eressos. Their chicken souvlaki is awesome and when I say awesome, I mean it almost melts in your mouth its so tender. The souvlaki and kodosoufli are amazing. If you are here, do your self a favor and eat here. This year, it's as good as ever.
