Melina’s coffeeshop
Worth a try is Melina’s Café where you will be pleasantly surprised by its distinct location in Anafiotika, Plaka. It has an old fashioned ambience that gives the feeling of being on a Greek island.
Melina’s café is located in a small alleyway in Plaka and is a bit difficult to locate. However, the location couldn’t be better with its traditional white cobblestone streets and view of the Acropolis.
Τhe interior is full of pictures of Melina Merkouri, a famous Greek singer and actress, and you could think you were on the set of a black and white film. However, it is very cosy and friendly. The outside veranda is also lovely thanks to its amazing location.
Your children will love the choice of ice creams and sweet crepes. The staff are very friendly, especially to your little fellows.
You can come here for breakfast, coffee, a light lunch, snack or just a drink … and don’t go without trying the hot chocolate and the home made deserts.
