Spending your summer in Greece but still need to get things done? Whether you're based in Athens or island-hopping through the Aegean, we've rounded up the best cafés to get things done across the country.
Athens
Comfortable and call-friendly, The Roosters is always a solid go-to for focused work sessions in the heart of the city. In terms of meal and drink options, there's plenty to choose from and everything is equally nice. In case you need extra quiet, there's an upper floor for more productive hours.
If you're looking for a neighbourhood gem with a lovely secret garden, Cultivos in Kypseli is the right answer. There, you can find excellent coffee and a menu with everything you need (from yogurt bowls to sandwiches, eggs and pizza). You can also choose to work inside for chiller vibes and access to chargers.
This café is a perfect spot for IT professionals, always according to the RWC members. The Wi-Fi is fast and stable and the ambiance is quiet yet engaging. Comfortable seating and spacious tables make long work sessions easy. Plus, top-notch coffee and great snacks to keep you going.
Mykonos
This is an exceptional spot on Mykonos, especially if working outdoors and getting the perfect summer view is something you're looking for. Apart from great coffee, you can also find an awesome menu with multiple meal options to keep you full throughout the day — from açaí bowls and avocado toast to burgers and grilled mains.
Crete
Lively but never crowded, this Heraklion café ticks every box: comfortable seating, plenty of plugs, great coffee and delicious value-for-money food. Welcome bonus: a black cat twisting and turning on every pillow available.
Kea
Right on one of Kea's best beaches, Porto Koundouros serves tasty snacks, drinks and full meals throughout the day. Open-air tables with shade and stunning sea views make for an enviable office. Wi-Fi can be patchy during peak hours, but 5G coverage is solid across all major providers.
Skopelos
If summer finds you on the Mamma Mia island, this charming café sits close to the port and offers outdoor seating to work with a view. The relaxed pace, good coffee and easy access to the waterfront make it an ideal base for a few productive hours before settling into the rest of your day.
