A few words about who we are and what we do

    

      “Summertime” is a snack bar located in Georgioupolis, a small village of north-west Crete. Our village belongs to Chania area but it’s actually on the borders between Chania and Rethymno. Georgioupolis is mostly famous for the long sandy  beach  witch  lays  for 16 kilometers on the north side of the island, facing  Cretan  open  sea.  (It’s the sea that separates the island from main Greece).

   

      On a small piece of land located on this beach, we decided to create our family  business. This land belongs to our family for many years now, long before Georgioupolis become a holiday resort. Being  sentimentally  connected  with  this  area,  where  our  ancestors  lived  and  our  childhood 
memories are many, we wanted to fulfil a dream and create a place of work and joy for us.

  

 

  

      The  first  step  began  in  1996  when  “Summertime”  snack  bar  was open for public. Many improvements  took  place  since  then.  It’s  a  snack  bar  that remains open only for the  summer season,  between  May  and  October.  (Summer  on  Crete  lasts long ). We  tried  to create a pleasant environment with materials as closer to nature  as  possible and a lot of  green. Our goal is 
to  offer  enjoyable  moments  and  good  service  to all our visitors and make them feel the Cretan hospitality, witch is known from our mythology times, thousands of years ago. You will realize that this tradition still remains unfading.

   

      “Summertime” is a place for every time of the day. Our visitors can enjoy  their  staying  from  early  in  the  morning,  having breakfast and coffee.  We  are  sure  that you will be astonished by the beautiful view of  the  sea  and  the  traditional  St’  Nicolas  church  built in the water. When  the  sun  goes  a little higher and the heat is rising, you can enjoy your  swimming  on  our beach and get your suntan, laying comfortably on  our  sun  beds.  The  bar  and  the  kitchen are open at any time for something  refreshing (fresh juices,  ice-creams, soft drinks, cocktails),  
or something to eat from the variety of our menu and  our grandmother’s cooking. The colors of the sky during sunset will impress you and if you are lucky to be to our village during full moon, you will understand  why  people  fall  in  love  with  this  place.  All these special moments you can enjoy in Summertime Snack Bar under the sounds of good music and romantic atmosphere. 

   

  

    

      The most important thing for us though, after making your holidays pleasant,  is  to know you better and make new friends. In these seven years we are open, we are happy to say that we’ve made many friends and more  happy to see them coming back year after year. We owe to all these  people  a  big  thanks for their support and a promise that we will keep  trying  for  their  best.  You  are all welcome, old friends and new  friends,  to  spend  your  holidays  with  our  family,  to  meet our 

beautiful island and its history, to taste our greek cuisine and enjoy the clean sea and the blue sky of our country.   

   

Cheers!
