Plaka Beach - (Beaches in Zante)

At first, we thought that this beach was nice and visited it often. We had lunch at the taverna a couple of times (hence, leaving a lot of money) and bought refreshments from the small bar. It is true that the sunbeds on the lawn are "free"... however, apparently, the guy at the bar expects you to buy stuff there to be able to use the sunbeds. This is not written anywhere though. So after having had lunch there (about 30 EURO) and having bought ice cream from the bar, I drank the coke I had brought with me on the lawn (it wasn't actually planned, I remembered that it was in my bag). The "friendly" guy at the bar came to us and said something like this: "I want you to leave now, you drank coke you brought". We had to argue with him for about 10 minutes telling him that his attitude of dealing with customers was wrong. After hearing that we had already eaten there, he told us that we could stay as long as we would not drink anything that we brought with us. We chose to leave of course. I also saw him go to other people (who also did not know of this "policy") and force them to leave. One lady even said that she was very sorry and even offered to pay for the "free" sunbeds, but the guy there behaved like an a**hole and said that he wanted her to leave.

I will never go there again and I don't recommend Plaka beach to anyone.
