For a special occasion we highly recommend the breakfast buffet at Elysium hotel in the Lemonia Piazza restaurant.
As their website describes:
With its bright and cheerful décor, it is no wonder that Lemonia Piazza has made a name for itself for delivering one of the most indulgent breakfast experiences island-wide. A brilliant display of breakfast goods – spanning freshly baked pastries and breads, charcuteries and cheeses, and hot delights – as well as à la minute cooking stations tempt guests on a daily basis. Coffees, teas, and fresh juices serve as the ideal accompaniments, alongside champagne: because the start of every day should be celebrated as a special occasion. The price is 23 Euro per person.

Though the road to Lara beach is quite rough, this beach is worth visiting. Even in the season there are not so many people, so you can enjoy your privacy and the beautiful scenery of the bay. It's just quiet and beautiful. Perfect place to make a day trip with a picnic. However, please make sure that you take back everything you brought with you, because this area is protected. In August you might even get a chance to see the baby turtles hatching.
