The traditional Cretan Kafenios are sadly beginning to disappear, replaced by Western-style cafés and coffee culture, but for now the tradition lives on. Remember that Greek coffee is quite strong and you need to specify your desired sweetness when ordering. The numerous modern places that you can find everywhere on the island offer, among other things, espresso, cappuccino, filter coffee, sweet treats and savoury snacks.
