A prominent dark blue rectangular sign with a painted oval scene is mounted on a textured, whitewashed wall, positioned towards the upper left. The sign's scene portrays a woman and a small child on a sandy beach, facing a calm blue sea where two white-sailed boats are visible with distant land in the background. Above the oval, the Greek word "TAVERNA" is written in white capital letters. Below the oval, the Greek phrase "ΑΠΕΡΑΝΤΟ ΓΑΛΑΖΙΟ" (Endless Blue) is written in gold.

This lifebuoy features the Greek words "Απέραντο" at the top and "Γαλάζιο" at the bottom, written in a light color, and includes a small white sailboat icon on its inner edge. The whitewashed wall shows minor textural variations and some shadows from the objects and an overhead structure or vine, part of which is visible in the upper right corner.
