Vintage meets coffee and beer? Even more? Yep. Very close to where I used to live the past 2 years you can find "Krikos".
Krikos is separated into two rooms, one larger one and one smaller one where you can also find the kitchen where some goodie - goods are cooked. Both rooms have a rather vintage feeling to them with comfortable and beautiful old couches and tables. Even the vases there are vintage (the one in the photo is one of my favourite ones and I can hardly keep myself from stealing it!).
When I used to live close by and was too bored to make my own coffee or was just in the mood for a nice hot cappuccino I must admit, I just quickly dropped by and bought my coffee there! I do miss that in my new neighbourhood!
Right next to Krikos there is a square where during the summer they put out chairs and tables which makes it the perfect place to endure the hot summer heat.
As a sidenote: check out the Facebook site for concerts and stuff.
