About
Parasol is a cocktail bar in Skala Eresou, the laid-back seaside village on the southwestern coast of Lesvos. Skala Eresou is best known for its long sandy beach, its unhurried pace, and its welcoming, free-spirited atmosphere — making it one of the island's most beloved destinations for travelers looking to unwind far from the tourist crowds.
A bar like Parasol fits naturally into the rhythm of Skala Eresou, where evenings tend to stretch lazily from the beach into the village's small cluster of cafés and bars. Visitors can expect a place to settle in with a well-crafted cocktail as the sun goes down over the Aegean, with the relaxed energy that defines this corner of Lesvos. Whether you're after something classic or something more inventive, cocktail bars in this village cater to a crowd that appreciates good drinks and good company without pretension.
For anyone spending time in Skala Eresou, Parasol offers the kind of easy evening that the village is famous for — a drink in hand, the sound of the sea nearby, and nowhere particular to be.
Before you go
What to expect
Parasol comes alive in the hour when the beach empties and the sky starts to colour — people drift in off the sand, find a seat, and let the evening slow down over a well-made cocktail. The mood is easy and sociable without being loud, very much in keeping with Skala Eresou's own character. One drink tends to become two without anyone noticing.
Best time to visit
Late May through September is the sweet spot; July and August bring a lively crowd, while June and September offer the same warmth with noticeably fewer people.
How to get there
From Mytilene, head west across the island interior toward Eressos — the drive takes roughly an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half. Skala Eresou is a small beachfront village, and once you've parked the bar is easy to find on foot.

We came here every day we were in Skala Eresou. During the day, you can enjoy the tranquility, swim in the sea, and eat and drink. At night, you can sip a cocktail while watching the moonlight. The staff was friendly, the food and drinks were delicious, and we had a great time.

The food was average in taste. The location by the seaside offers a beautiful view. However, the staff were quite unfriendly. The stuffed zucchini flowers (fried with cheese filling) were tasty, but the crab salad had too much mayonnaise, which overpowered the flavor of the crab. This place is better suited for enjoying drinks and snacks while admiring the view rather than for a full meal.

This place was my best vibe. Bohemian style. Definitely the best cocktails An awesome place to watch the sunset. And the food was so tasty . I was trying to try out all the restaurants but I ended up coming back here atleast 2 more times ! Thr mojitos and Pina coladas are extra large. Well worth it and good value for money

Great bar overlooking the water. Was awesome to have some good Mexican/Asian cuisine, after eating Greek cuisine for so many weeks! They also make a great Espresso Martini, something many Greek bars didn't know about! Vibe & music at night is fun!

Wonderful beach bar. The decor and vibe are brilliant. You feel good just stepping into this place. We visited mid-afternoon for soft drinks but absolutely loved it.
