Welcome to Olympio beach bar-cafe.

Our cafe is in the small fishing harbour in the village of Makrigialos (meaning "long beach"). Makrigialos is in the southeast part of the Island of Crete, 25 Km east of Ierapetra, and 35 Km south of Sitia town, in the Lassithi area.

Before Olympio became a cafe, it used to be a storehouse and after that the home of my parents- in-law. It is made of stone, built in 1936.
We renovated it and converted it to a cafe bar in 1996 with a nice terrace under the old tamarisk trees with a view of the bay and the Libyan Sea.
Dimitris and Hara offer you everything you may need during the hot days & nights of the summer.

We open from early morning until late at night every day, from April to October.
We serve Breakfast, Delicious Snacks, Toasted Sandwiches, Omelettes, Salads, and Pizza for lunch or dinner. Coffees, Fresh fruit juices, Cold Beers & Spirits, Deserts, Fruits, Milk shakes, Ice creams, Long drinks & cocktails.
Here you can relax and get yourself into the Cretan pace of life. 

Why not take a seat by the sea, under a tamarisk tree and sip your first brandy, ouzo or raki. Nibble on a nut or even better a Cretan meze, a salad, or snack. 
Sniff Crete and you could become intoxicated by the tang of fresh lemons and the delicate carnation blossoms, the wholesome smell of freshly baked bread or the fermenting grapes from the wine harvest.

Cretans as you will soon discover, are naturally hospitable people and generous to the extreme in a way that is so much part of the Mediterranean.
You are welcome to our beautiful place. We are very happy to take good care of our customers as much as we can, so that you have happy holidays.
CAFE OLYMPIO is the best place to be. 

In this website you'll find some info & photos about the village, the life and some links to continue your surfing.

Thanks, Efcharisto poly.
