“Bokeh” in Vourvourou is a destination where food and cocktails, relaxation and enjoyment, take center stage, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in its stunning surroundings and have the best time possible. Its name—derived from the Japanese word meaning “blur” and used to describe the aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus areas in a photograph—was chosen because, when paired with the beautiful landscape overlooking the island of Diaporos, “Bokeh” becomes the focal point of every gaze and a top destination for a perfect night out, especially during the late afternoon and evening hours.
Located in the picturesque Vourvourou with its crystal-clear waters, on the second peninsula of Halkidiki, “Bokeh” has, for the past three years and from May to October, been offering a unique gastronomic experience in a relaxing atmosphere—ideal for enjoying a meal while watching the sunset.
With modern and elegant décor and a warm, comfortable atmosphere, it’s perfect for couples, families, and groups of friends. From the beginning, its owners aimed to create a complete experience—a place where everyone can enjoy themselves in their own way.
Divided into two sections—one operating as a restaurant and the other as a bar, with impressive and cozy “cabanas” right by the sea for enjoying your cocktail—Bokeh focuses both on exquisite culinary options and the overall hospitality experience, with excellent service and a dedication to guest satisfaction.
Not by chance, Bokeh has managed to redefine the area’s map and establish itself as a landmark for those seeking something more than just a simple night out.
Traditional Flavors with Local Ingredients
The menu itself, inspired by traditional flavors, offers a variety of Greek and Mediterranean dishes based on fresh, local ingredients with a modern twist. While seafood is the foundation, there are also many meat options to satisfy every preference.

You’ll also find mussels, fresh calamari, orzo with seafood, shrimp pasta, lobster pasta, seafood risotto, grilled or pickled octopus, fried red mullet, and many more exquisite seafood delicacies, all prepared with mastery.
On the meat side, there are premium cuts like rib-eye steaks, traditional-style skewers presented in creative ways that honor tradition while adding a unique twist. Everything is handmade and carefully crafted to satisfy meat lovers.
There are also vegetarian options and a dedicated kids’ menu, with special emphasis placed on quality and presentation.
