About

Vanilla, on Chios, sits in Karfas 821 00, Greece, a coastal settlement on the island's eastern shore. First-time visitors should expect a café setting where the rhythm follows the island's own pace, with daily life slowing in the afternoon and tavernas serving late into the evening. The venue holds a 4.4/5 rating from 402 reviews, placing it among the more established spots in the area. Karfas is easily reached from Chios Town, the island's main port and administrative centre, and the route also passes near Vrontados. For those exploring further afield, Mesta, Pyrgi, Olympi, Lithi, Komi and Volissos lie across the island's southern and western reaches. Greek is the main language on Chios, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus. Winter brings rain and rough seas, and many island hotels and tavernas shut between November and March. Ferries and high-speed catamarans connect the islands to Piraeus, Rafina and each other, though winter services are fewer. The café's location in Karfas makes it a natural stop for visitors staying in or passing through the island's eastern corridor.
