Esmigia Café-Grocery: A Must-Stop in Douliana

ABOUT

Douliana is one of the most charming and picturesque villages in Apokoronas.

In the village square, you’ll find the Esmigia Café-Grocery, named after the Cretan dialect word for a gathering, meeting, or coming together.

Relax on the veranda and take in the breathtaking views, or settle inside near the cozy stove. Here, you can enjoy craft beers, local wines, and tsikoudia from regional producers, accompanied by delectable meze.

The grocery section offers products from small-scale producers, social cooperatives, collaborative ventures, and fair-trade initiatives.

The café often hosts live music nights and other cultural events.
