The Kretan
About
The Kretan, on Cyprus, sits at Γεώργιου Γρίβα Διγενή 19 in Kyperounta, a village in the Lemesos district. First-time visitors can expect a café setting in the Troodos foothills, away from the coastal resorts. The venue holds a 4.8 out of 5 score from 427 reviews, a substantial body of feedback for a village café. Reaching it from the main resorts involves a drive inland, since Kyperounta lies in the mountains rather than on the coast.
The café's Facebook page at facebook.com/thekretan provides a point of reference for anyone planning a stop. Kyperounta's position in the Lemesos district places it within the Troodos range, where Mount Olympus is the island's highest point. Wine villages in these foothills hold an annual vintage festival, and lace-making continues in Lefkara.
Greek and Turkish are the official languages of Cyprus, and English is widely used in business and tourism. The island has sandy beaches on the south and east coasts, with the Troodos range inland. Ayia Napa and Protaras are among the coastal resorts listed for this part of the island.
