 In the heart of Pitsidia, a still contemplative village in the central south of Crete, you will find the “Kentriko Kafeneion Kriton KOSTAS” of Antonios Sfakakis.Situated near to the fruitful Plain of Messara, this Traditional Cretan Kafeneion is an excellent paradigm for the combination of traditional Cretan hospitality, Greek tolerance and modern gastronomy.
By the way: |
The Kafeneion is only a few steps away from the central market place. It's directly at the old village route with numerous off branching bent and close lanes and partly beautiful flower gardens.
Like that "KOSTAS" is a popular place both with the tourists in summertime as also during the whole year with the natives. Even if you like to philosophize about the beauty of Crete, to discuss politics or to get the latest news from the village… |

For many years Pitsidia - the probably oldest place of the area - is a popular destination of primarily individual travelers. Since 1922 Kafeneion “KOSTAS” is meeting place, Post Office and one of the social hubs of that about 700 inhabitants counting municipality.
Apart from letting of private-rooms and apartments,
agriculture is still the main source of income in Pitsidia. Olive trees and the extraction of oil, cultivation of wine and goats or sheep raising still affect everyday life of many inhabitants. In the small shops of Pitsidia you can buy these products favorably.
As facet-rich as the place, where also many artists found their second home, also the public is at the Kafeneion.
