Café · Glyfada
Blends
A modern café and social spot with a clean, contemporary Glyfada feel.
Practical details
The place
Blends sits on Foivis Street, just off the main run of Glyfada's centre, and does the contemporary Athenian café properly: good coffee, a clean room, and a crowd that treats it as an office in the morning and a meeting point in the afternoon.
It is a useful place to know if you are working from the Riviera for a few days — the sort of café where sitting with a laptop for two hours is unremarkable.
Getting there
On Foivis Street in central Glyfada, walking distance from the square and the shops, about 13 km from central Athens.
