Dev-friendly cafés

[gsaslis]

With more and more remote workers in Heraklion, I've been hearing more and more often the question:

"Hey, know of any cafés that are good options as a work environment?"

As the developer community in Heraklion, I feel DevStaff members should have the answer!!

Please feel free to contribute by either:

• suggesting your favourite café, in the comments below
• opening a PR for presenting this information to the public (e.g. on our website... somewhere else?)

Let me start with one suggestion:

Kafe Vivlio

has 2-3 rooms/spaces that are meant as reading spaces and are usually expected to be fairly quiet.

Cafe Puerto

Κακό wifi συνήθως, αλλά ησυχία, ηρεμία και καθαρός αέρας.

και ευκολο parking - απλα όχι τις Κυριακές :)

@irinikp στον πάνω όροφο είναι σχετικά πιο ήσυχα. Ανεβαίνει λίγη από την βαβούρα που υπάρχει κάτω αλλά με ακουστικά είσαι οκ.

New entry:

Galaxy Hotel - https://goo.gl/maps/69z5zqSJv44tMg566

Pros: very quiet cafe (thought it would be busy due to it being a hotel), nice soft music at just the right volume, air-conditioned, nice chairs / tables for laptops.

Cons: ok, parking is not terrible, but also not the easiest.

La Maison Du Pain

Ωραίος χώρος στο πατάρι και νόστιμες γεύσεις να συνοδεύσεις τον καφέ.
