An Oasis of Greenery: A Culinary and Cultural Haven in Lakkos!

In light of its historical significance, the area of Lakkos, once stigmatised by the legendary past of a unique society flourishing within it in the first half of the 20^th century, still retains a hint of the glamour from another era. Recently, it has been revitalised with green spaces, cobblestone streets, restoration projects, modern lighting, and aesthetically pleasing public interventions, all paying homage to its history.

Amidst the striking setting of the new Cultural Centre, the Venetian walls, and the tomb of N Kazantzakis, exploring the alleyways adorned with vibrant, picturesque houses and countless pieces of contemporary art from the global artistic community of ‘The Lakkos Project’ offers a truly distinctive experience.

Amidst it all, the square of Lakkos Café emerges as a sanctuary within the labyrinthine urban landscape, evoking the sensation of being in a quaint village or on a Greek island. A vibrant oasis of greenery adorned with artistic interventions, where you can savour coffee or cuisine: a delightful blend of Mediterranean and Oriental flavours featuring locally sourced ingredients, served with care, accompanied by distinctive selections of craft beer and local wines. The square also hosts occasional cultural events such as exhibitions, concerts, and performances, adding to its allure.
