Bar Hellenika

Gold Coast


Head upstairs from the Hellenika restaurant to find this relaxed spot, which evokes Santorini vibes with its white-on-white decor and sunshine-yellow-and-white striped umbrellas. Admittedly you're swapping Santorini's caldera views for cars zipping down the highway, but you still get to sip on Greek beers, cocktails and ouzo with a side dish of saganaki.
