 Women were not allowed to seat in a kafenion; they were busy the house’s tasks while the men were drinking Greek coffee (or Turkish coffee) at the kafenion and playing tavli or cards, discussing about politics, with the sound of a bouzouki as a background.
Today, only a few traditional kafenion can still be found in some villages and islands, as well as some parts of Athens; women are now allowed but the clientele is still mostly masculine.

Café in Greece and the Greek Islands is not only a place but also a way of life. Every Greek has his favourite café where he enjoys, with his friends, long hours drinking iced coffee (frappe) and playing the traditional “tavli” (backgammon).
