The beginning of Elia Kafenes in Antiparos

The beginning ..

"On 12 June 2012 I decided to open a small business. It was so small that only 14 people could sit and enjoy something from our hands. I will never forget that day, because everyone told me this was not a restaurant but a kiosk..!" – Παναγιώτης Βλαχάκης, owner

We are what we eat …

Twice a year during our seven-month season, we renew the menu. In the morning we work mainly with fresh produce from the island; our juices are made only from fruit of local growers across Greece. We serve a fully healthy and modern breakfast that captivates every age and preference. We use seasonal, local products from small producers wherever possible.

As afternoon turns to evening, the menu shifts. We work with first-quality Greek products for modern Greek cuisine rooted in local and national tradition. Our chef and team create recipes adapted to every palate — seasonal, and inspired by the unforgettable vibe of Antiparos. Enjoy.

… and what we drink

We focus deeply on wine, with a long list of mainly Greek producers. Our wines are refreshed daily. Bartenders renew seasonal drinks and cocktails with handmade purées and fresh ingredients. We support local spirits and traditional drinks — hence the kafenes.
