We set off early (well, 11am) from Mytilini to parts unknown. The sign to Sebastian's Taberna in Tarti looked good so we pull in. It's a secluded cove with a beautiful pebble beach nestled in a valley of olive groves and surrounded by promontories of marble and schist. There are a grand total of three tavernas, a smattering of rent-rooms, and a few dozen umbrellas by the beach. We find an umbrella, a beer, a salad, then a room, in that order, and settle in.
There is a constant stream of local's at Sebastian's Taverna, now owned and operated by Stratos, son of the eponymous Sebastian. He has the able help of his wife Matina, son Isidoros, and daughter Kiki. A constant fixture is Rumsen, a musician, raconteur, and free spirit. He is usually accompanied by his wife and his eleven-year-old daughter Nineveh.
This is a beautiful, secluded beach and I am sad to leave it.
