Καφενείο (Kafeneio)

Kafeneio – a place for men only.
During your stay in Greece you will discover many of them.



When you will have a walk next to the port in Chios city you will pass many bars, shops with souvenirs and taverns. And somewhere between all these places you will also pass this kind of café where only men are sitting. They play cards, or tavli, the greek backgammon which is a popular game among the inhabitants of Greece.
They talk about the day's events and drink coffee, ouzo or wine.
Men consider it as their second house almost. All in all they spend there nice hours with their friends and talk about many different topics.

Once only men sat there and socialized after work but these days they are also frequented by women and girls.

So, you will not be surprised anymore if you see mostly men inside a traditional Café in Greece.
