Traditional Kafenio (Cafe) Of Emmanouil Forlidas

CAFE DESCRIPTION

It is not just any café but one of the oldest in Greece, dating from 1785. Since then it has been operating continuously. Seven generations of the Forlidas family have passed through this café.

In the old times the upper floor of the café operated as an inn. Many important historical figures had stayed at the inn, such as Papadiamantis, Varnalis and Delmouzos. Today the inn doesn’t operate anymore, but mr. Manolis continues to serve traditional Greek coffee daily in an atmosphere that has retained yesterday’s charm unchanged throughout the years.

In the summer the smiling and always polite mr. Manolis serves coffee and refreshments under the 9 plane trees in the town square and in the winter within the inside of the café, around the wood furnace, with the old pictures on the walls making us travel to the past.
