''THE BOUGAINVILLEA BAR''

The Olympio cafe bar situated overlooking the small harbour of Makrigialos has one of the prettiest and most unusual bougainvillea's to be seen in this area of Crete.Although it is only one plant some of the flowers are a deep pink and some are white,it's amazing to see both colours on the same branch.
The bougainvillea surrounds the front of the cafe where the atmosphere is one of happy contentment.The customers-some regular holiday makers and residents of Makrigialos.sit in the shade and enjoy the view of the beach,blue sea and harbour.Of course they also enjoy the Olympio's excellent food complete with Dimitris & Hara's own friendly brand of service.
A good selection of snacks and drinks are available as well as ice creams,the tuna salad is the best to be found in Makry-Gialos.

CAFE OLYMPIO


We are οn the beach front by the small fishing harbour in the village of Makry-Gialos.
(Makrigialos Makrygialos, Makriyialos, ) is in the Southeast part of the Island of Crete, 25 Km East of Ierapetra town,
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 Kakouris offer you everything you may need during the hot days and nights of the summer.

We are open from the early morning until late at night every day.
From April to October.
We serve English and Continental Breakfast all day.
Some typical Greek and Cretan Snacks.
Yogurt with honey or with fruits and walnuts.
Toasted Sandwiches, Omelets.
Fresh home made Salads, and various Pizzas and Pies.
We use only our own Virgin Olive Oil.
All sort of Coffees. Fresh fruit juices (about 12 kinds) and fruit salads.
Deserts, apple pie with icecream.
Waffles with ice cream. Ice Creams with cream, fresh fruits and nuts.

You are welcome to our beautiful place, where we are very happy to take good care of our customers so that you have an enjoyable holiday.

Το Μακρύ-Μοχίτο ή Μοχιτάκι το επίσημο κοκτέιλ της Κρήτης.


ΜΑΚΡΥ-ΜΟΧΙΤΟ ή ΜΟΧΙΤΑΚΙ
Είναι το κοκτέιλ που γεννήθηκε το 2010, στην περίοδο της οικονομικής ύφεσης στην Κρήτη.
Βασικό του συστατικό είναι η γνήσια Κρητική Ρακή, κατά προτίμηση οργανικής προέλευσης.
Το κοκτέιλ είναι αντίγραφο του Κουβανέζικου Μοχίτο, με την διαφορά ότι, αντί για ρούμι χρησιμοποιούμε καλή Κρητική Ρακή ή Τσικουδιά.
Ονομάστηκε Μακρύ-Μοχίτο, γιατί πρωτοεμφανίστηκε και σερβιρίστηκε με μεγάλη επιτυχία στο Μακρύ-Γιαλό της Κρήτης. Οι Κρητικοί φανατικοί πότες, του πολύ δροσιστικού αυτού ποτού, το αποκαλούνε καί Μοχιτάκι.
Οι οικονομολόγοι της περιοχής, υποστηρίζουν οτι, θα μπορούσαν να εξοικονομηθούν ώς ένα εκατομμύριο Ευρώ ετησίως, μόνο πάνω στην  Κρήτη, με την διάδοση και την επικράτηση του Μακρύ-Μοχίτο ως του επίσημου Κοκτέιλ σε όλα τα παραθεριστικά θέρετρα του Νησιού.
 Προτρέπουμε τον κάθε ενήλικα κάτοικο ή επισκέπτη αυτού του Νησιού να δοκιμάσει αυτή την πολύ δροσιστική και απολαυστική παραλλαγή του Κρητικού Μοχίτο. Και ευελπιστούμε το Μακρύ-Μοχίτο να γίνει το πιο δημοφιλές κοκτέιλ του Καλοκαιριού του 2011.
