Velvet
About
Velvet serves Crete from Δαράτσος 731 00, Greece, on the island's northern coast near Chania. Guests have given the café a 4.9/5 rating across 226 reviews, a strong record built over many visits.
The venue lies within reach of Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno and Agios Nikolaos, so arrivals by air or ferry can continue onward by road. Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi also lie within the island's wider road network. The website at http://www.pink-velvet.gr/ is the main online reference.
Opening hours run from 09:00 to 01:00, so the café serves well into the evening. Greek is the main language, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus, so a little preparation helps when navigating the area.
Island bakeries sell spanakopita and tyropita, and vineyards on Santorini, Crete and Paros produce local wines, so there is plenty to try alongside a coffee. The meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries, which is worth knowing when planning onward travel.
