Cafe Rakomelo

Top choice in Central Greece


Alexandros Karveli serves Greek coffee made the old-fashioned way, along with espresso drinks and Greek mountain tea. But the real reason to come to his ever-expanding cafe, spread across a panoramic terrace just below Megalo Horio’s clock tower, is to sample his regionally renowned galaktoboureko – a rich and flaky custard-and-filo concoction that becomes easier to pronounce after a few bites.
