Το καφενείο του μπακόγια

The blue wooden chairs and the faded, sun-bleached sign of Bakoya’s cafe sit tucked against a narrow, whitewashed alleyway. For decades, this spot functioned as the island's primary social hub, long before cruise ships or luxury boutiques arrived. Locals gathered here every morning to drink thick Greek coffee, debate local politics, and monitor the arrival of the daily ferries. When the owner, Bakoyas, passed away, the village council kept the chairs exactly where he left them to preserve the space.
