This unique café is more than just a stop for a quick bite—it’s a warm embrace from hosts Nektaria and Nikos, who are eager to share their passion for organic products and authentic Greek cuisine. Nektaria's homemade jams, featuring luscious flavors like lemon, orange, figs, and even rose, have garnered rave reviews from visitors.

Indulging in a meal at Cafe Platanos isn’t just about the food; it’s about the experience.

The dining atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making you feel like part of the family, as Marcus Woodbridge beautifully captured: “Here you will find the most wonderful hosts. Delicious food and produce. We were met and treated like old friends or family.”

Nektaria and Nikos go beyond providing just good food; they offer a slice of Greek life. Customers have the chance to learn not only about the culinary delights but also about the natural products crafted by Nektaria, including organic skin balms made from locally sourced plants. Michaela Holubcová enjoyed a coffee tasting experience and found the couple’s warmth and hospitality hard to forget, even overcoming language barriers through simple gestures and shared smiles.

Cafe Platanos is the perfect destination for anyone seeking a peaceful respite, friendly conversation, and mouthwatering food. “You must make a trip to Nikos and Nectaria’s coffee,” exclaimed another satisfied customer. “If you want to have an authentic Greek experience, you must come here and let them spoil you with their kindness.”

Best marmelade I ever tasted! Lemon, orange, figs, roses… There are also soaps and other natural products made by the owner who recolts all the plants and fruits needed herself. All the food and drinks I had were super tasty and the owners are really nice and friendly! I highly recommend you to visit this peacefull and friendly place! A lot of things to learn from Nectaria on plants and their benefits!

Nektaria and Nikos gave me a very warm welcome into their home and life, I ate a very good tasting dinner, got mountain tea from the greek mountains with honey and also a delicious breakfast in the morning with pancakes and all kinds of marmelade. Nektaria showed me a little bit from how she made the lip/skin balm and I got to test some more very good tasting products. She also told me alot of things about her products and we understood eachother very good thru Google Translate. The hospitality are very good from both of them, and you really feel at home here, learning so much about the greek culture. It's very important for me to choose fair places to spend my money, and it really feels worth it to spend my money at this family, both for the very good and healthy products and also the hard work and nice hospitality they do. I had a very good night of sleep in my campervan outside. This has been the best experience I have had of my 5 years travelling fulltime, you will not regret visiting Nektaria and Nikos, they are really worth a visit. Thank you so much for your hospitality, wish you all the best, take care

A very pleasant couple. The lady treated us to excellent coffee and a tasting of their marmalades. After the tasting, we were happy to take a few glasses home. The lady speaks German, but it was no problem to understand each other via Google Translate. Before leaving, we were allowed to clean the toilet in the car and refill the water. Parking in front of the house. I recommend it.

You must make a trip to Nikos and Nectaria s coffee. They are love people, make excellent food and they treat you like family. Nectaria makes delicious organic products and excellent food. Nikos loves to chat and knows a lot about the area. If you want to have an authentic Greek experience you must come here and let them spoil you with their kindness. W You won’t regret it. They speak German and English and if you come with a camper you can spend the night in front of their place. Trust me you won’t regret coming here even if it means making a detour of your way. It will be an experience you will not forget. True country side and Greek hospitality.

Delicious breakfast and hospitable owners. We were immediately received very hospitably by the two owners. We got delicious pancakes with tea for breakfast with homemade organic jams. We told Nektaria that we were very curious about how she made the jams, on which she took us in her garden and told about the plants, the fruit and herbs she uses in her products. Nektaria has a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm, so it was verry fun to see and taste. In addition to the jams, she also makes creams and other skin care of herbs from her own garden. Really worth a visit! We combined this visit with a visit to Alonaki Beach.

If I could put more stars I would. My partner and I have been traveling by bike for the past 3 months and this was the best experience we've had so far and we left feeling so happy and grateful to have spent time there. The owners Nektaria and Nikos were so warm and kind, we felt instantly at home and were treated like family. Nektaria spent a long time showing and teaching us about the plants and herbs in her garden and showing us the end products of homemade organic marmalades, liquors, soaps and creams etc. Everything is such high quality and she has so much knowledge, she has even won awards for her products. This is a must visit place. We will definitely be visiting again when we're next in Greece. Laura & Andy
