Meli kai Kanela (Honey and Cinnamon) Cycladic Cafe, Bar and Deli
Road to the Castle: Meli & Kanela!(Honey & Cinnamon) The old house (from 1900) is well preserved and belongs to Kioulafis family, which strive to maintain unchanged the glory and the brilliance of the building. Today has turned into a wonderful Cycladic Cafe, Bar and Deli.
The story so far:
Meli and Kanela is in Nio Horio, on the south side of the castle where the original inhabitants were Cretan settlers. The houses here were built very close together, the one house right next to the other, with small courtyards. On Brantouna Street, leading to the second most important gate of the castle, is one of the first buildings of the area with a history dating back to before 1912, the German occupation, the postwar years, refugees and today characterized as a traditional house below the medieval castle of Chora.The attic of the house was the refuge of the children, and particularly Spyros who liked reading and filled it with books. Spyros created here a magical place where he spent many hours writing his beautiful poetry. Later as ‘Fotos Pelagitis’ he became known as a well-know Naxian poet, but his life did not blossom and he died at only 19 years old. Stephen Emm. Psarras says “An especially tragic event is the premature loss of the talented teenager Foto Pelagitis (the literary nickname of Spyros Kioulafi, 1920 – 1939) who lived the ‘Kariotakismo’ in his own skin.The hall was the main area of the house where all the grandmothers of Nio Horio would gather, amongst them ‘Short Maria’, the best friend and neighbor of our grandmother, to grind coffee in the mill and start gossiping. This home lives on through all the people who pass and have passed through it, breathes together with its old wooden doors and partitions, and keeps track of its history and warm secrets inside its thick stone walls.Catherine and her husband Bill Kioulafi, a worker and fisherman, had 4 children, Spyros, Nikolaos, Elias and George, who grew up in this house during the difficult wartime years. During the war, resistance fighters entering from the centre door found food and refuge for a few hours and would later leave from the back door to slip away unseen through the alleys of the castle.This blue door has witnessed a lot. Mrs. Katina sitting in her courtyard in front of the old blue door was always ready to welcome every passerby with homemade sweets.After Spyros’ death, Nicholas went to Athens and then was not heard of again (he probably travelled to America). George became a baker in Athens and Elias was a labourer and fisherman like his father. In this house Elias and Evangelia Kioulafi raised two of their three children, Spiros and George, and grandmother Katina lived with them. Despite the hardship she had lived through, the beauty of her blue eyes would take you back, like the Aegean sea, to the years of innocence and serenity.After several years of inactivity, George Kioulafi’s family once again brought life and colour to the house, looking back at the old black and white photos to remember from where it all started.

Often, though not always, the main town of a Greek island will have the same name as the island; thus, Naxos is the name of the main town on Naxos, and Paros is the name of the main town on Paros. Sometimes these towns also have alternate names; thus Paros town is sometimes known as Parikia. In addition to these names, the main town on an island is often also referred to locally on the island as Hora (sometimes spelled Khora), which basically means the place: thus Hora on Naxos means Naxos town, while Hora on Paros means Paros town.
