To katoi tou Lala

Ithaca’s night voice

Since 1999, Lala’s Katoi has been the go-to spot for Ithaca’s nightlife. The island’s very first bar, a place that honors simplicity and celebrates authentic fun, awaits you right by the sea — on the coastal road near Mylos.

Under the care of Nektarios, who has kept the soul of the place untouched, the Katoi remains minimal, welcoming, alive. Soft lighting, music that transports you, and tables so close to the waves you can feel their breath. This is where words become unnecessary, and people communicate through smiles and clinking glasses.

Here, drinks are a ritual:

• A Mojito crafted with fresh ingredients and pure island vibe.
• A Moscow Mule with “Holly Ginger”, spicy and refreshing, awakening your senses.
• A Mastihito, made with Chios mastiha – a glass full of Greek summer.

Beers, cocktails, and spirits are also available to go, for those who want to carry a little bit of the bar’s energy with them. Every night, the setting is open to all: couples looking for a quiet corner, friends chasing spontaneous joy, visitors from every background. All ages, all identities, all directions. Here, you’re always welcome. 🌈

To Katoi tou Lala is gay friendly, warm, and open to anyone who values good energy and genuine connection. And behind the bar, there’s respect for the island itself: 90% of all waste is recycled daily, because hospitality starts with caring for the land that hosts us.

But what truly makes the Katoi tou Lala legendary are its spontaneous, unforgettable parties — nights that begin quietly and turn into celebrations of the moment. Music that grows louder as the stars rise. Strangers becoming friends. Dances with no choreography. Human connections that need no filters or hashtags.

Lala’s Katoi doesn’t offer “experiences” — it creates them.
