ARC Espresso & Cocktail Bar
A relaxed all-day hangout overlooking the lake in Agios Nikolaos, ARC is as good for a quiet morning coffee and a laptop as it is for an evening cocktail on the terrace.

ARC earns its place on any Agios Nikolaos itinerary on views alone — but it's the easy atmosphere that keeps people coming back. During the day it's quiet enough to claim a table to yourself and settle in for a few hours, with good espresso and a setting that makes working feel considerably less like work.
Come the afternoon and evening, the mood shifts without losing that ease. Beers, wine by the glass or bottle, and a cocktail list give you plenty of reasons to stay longer than planned. The outdoor terrace is the real draw — open-air seating that feels more like sitting in a park than at a bar, with the lake and the town spread out below. One of the nicest spots in the city, whatever time of day you arrive.
