Homemade Galaktoboureko - Cafe Galani
The Copper is a small but beautiful village in Naxos. It stands out with its old neoclassical mansions with tiles, classic balconies with beautiful railings and paved courtyards, samples of the prosperity of the few inhabitants in an area where life in other villages was very hard. The reason for its prosperity was due to its location, as all the surrounding villages are united by road there, which made Halki a great mall.
Next to a river with towering plane trees, which the public intersects with a small elegant protected bridge and running water to water small nice green enclosures, Halki is an established stop of thousands of visitors who stop on the way every year. Philoti and Apeiranthos to visit his citrus distillery Vallindra, and unwind walking in its narrow streets.
In the middle of the public is the Galanis cafe. The Antonis Galanis and his wife Katerina Salteri received the cafe in August 1986 from Markos Lampadakis who was targeted by the Occupation. Mr. Markos made great cheeses, but he is also the first to establish kataifa and galaktoboureka, which from then until today have remained the trademark of the store.
The summer Galanis cafe extends to the opposite sidewalk, where the locals, sitting on the narrow sidewalk or on the marble stairs of the adjacent houses, drink their ouzo and observe the movement, while next to it a paved roof covered by an arbor sit the guests who want to enjoy it moussaka and meatballs of Mrs. Katerina.
If there is an opportunity, start a conversation with the coffee makers in Galanis cafe, they are both diamonds!
