The coronavirus pandemic has harmed us all in ways we cannot begin to describe. It's going to take some time for the world to heal from this one, that's for sure. And our friends and family will play a huge role in giving us back...our lives. I mention this because it's been a year since we sat down at Heraklion's most iconic coffee and pastry shop. We missed these people and this experience, more than we even realized.
"Phil, "Ti Kaneis?" (How are you?) We missed you, it's been a whole year!" Tripadvisor users reading this will identify with this, I know. Everyone has favorite places, favorite people, and stunning memories from local shops in their own hometown. Well, Phyllosophies' owners, their staff, and the legend they have built for generations now, is still with us.
Go here if you are in Heraklion. Have a glass of Nikos Gavalas white wine. Dive into the cafe's famous bougatsa. Sit and dream over a perfect cappuccino and stare at the passers by the city's iconic Lion's Fountain. Not visiting this classy cafe would be like going to Paris and missing the Eiffel Tower.More
