"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.
