Overview

Louis Cafe

The guide was updated: 2025-08-13

This traditional Greek cafeteria offers the best coffee experience in Greece. The atmosphere and decoration are very classic and you will see a few typical old Greek men in here, playing Backgammon, Tavli in Greek, and proudly wearing their Komboloi strings of beads used to relieve stress. You can also hear some local musicians performing during the many concerts organised.
