Kayak is the dessert stop in central Glyfada — gelato, patisserie, and coffee served in a bright, contemporary room on the corner of Metaxa and Zisimopoulou, right in the middle of the shopping grid.
It is built for exactly the kind of evening the town runs on: a walk through the centre, something sweet standing at the counter or sitting outside, and then somewhere else for the rest of the night.
Getting there
On A. Metaxa Avenue in central Glyfada, a couple of minutes from the main square and about 13 km from central Athens. Easiest on foot once you are in the centre; the tram stops nearby.
