TA KALA KATHOUMENA

Already, we like the name of this slightly alternative café: "comme par enchantement" (Τα Καλά Καθούμενα). And its location isn't bad either, just off the Papadopoullou stoa, a covered passageway that connects Ledra Street to Faneromeni Square. The rather young clientele talk politics and play tavli (backgammon) while drinking beer, lemonada spitiki (homemade lemonade) or Turkish coffee (no espresso). Quiet atmosphere for reading or working. By the way, we've written quite a few pages of this guide here.
