The taste of Greece in the middle of Craiova
Cafes to go and not only have already become a tradition in Craiova for several years, so a new location is always welcome, given the fairly high demand for coffee from the people of Craiova. Thus, a new location opened its doors last week right in the heart of the city and comes to remind passers-by of the first connections of Craiova with the Mediterranean culture. More precisely, of Marșeu Market, which is not far from the place we are referring to, exactly where the “Marin Sorescu” National Theater is now.
We’re talking about Ponton Craiova, the cafe where you can find not only aromatic and fresh coffee, but also Greek food, traditional pies, delicious ice cream, sandwiches and many other products meant to wake you up or make you dream of sunny Greece.
Everything we told you about is across the street from the University of Craiova, on A.I. Cuza street, in an at least exotic setting: a Greek amphitheater on the edge of a shiny sandy beach where you can leave your messages for this cafe and for this city. To do this, you have at your disposal a glass full of pieces of colored chalk and a whole wall waiting to be drawn.
The Greek "nature" is at home, but we also need technology, so the steps of the agora have built-in USB ports where you can charge your gadgets; it would be a shame to get to Ponton and not have enough power on your phone to take a selfie or take photos inside the cafe.
Ponton Craiova is also a good place to bring your laptop early in the morning (or at any other time of the day), to work from here, in the company of the pleasant people who are more than happy to have you as guests. It's quiet and it's a pleasant hum of those who come to recharge, day by day, with the "gasoline" they need so much to function properly.
If you still prefer to enjoy the last sunrays of the warm season, you can choose to sit at the tables on the Ponton terrace, on A.I. Cuza street, and watch the passers-by, the cars and the murmur of the crowded city. However, we say, the real Greece is inside. 😊
Ponton Craiova joins other Craiova cafes and is welcome in the landscape, because people are beginning to understand, day by day, the purpose of a coffee made properly.
Don't forget our oldest selection of places for cafes in Craiova, in case Ponton isn’t enough and you want to go on a cafe tour.
In any case, we’re sure that you will surely find a place that you like. We have plenty of those!
