At the junction of E.Emprar & O.Diamanti in Upper Ladadika, there is a traditional cafe, a very very special one. Is is called "The Old Horse".

I do not know many details about who the are, or what they do, but I know they are serving one fine Tsipouro and delicious appetizers! 

I also know that the owners are people with passion, with a clear vision, with love for music and enjoyment! That is why at least three times a week there is live band playing at the store.

I found myself there at a party, in June. It was one of the most moving experiences for me cause it reminded me of our own feasts, homemade, when people gathered, sang and danced ... I was so impressed by the warmth of its people, the spontaneous moments and the crazy positive energy the space has. These are the reasons i keep going back there almost every week. And the unbelievable part is that i ALWAYS have fun.

On Sundays they celebrate with traditional folk music and dance. If you are keen for some tradition you should try Sunday.
I usually go there with friends, or i go alone and i make friends. I drink their excellent raki, i chit chat, i listen, i enjoy the silence, i sing, i drink, i dance, i laugh. Every time!!

The legend says that somewhere around there lurks a neighbor, which prohibits music after 23.00. One summer evening we show him sitting at a table next to the street, the orchestra played and the time had already gone to 23.00. A moment passed and the neighbor said with a heavy and booming voice, "Well, we did say that music should stop at 23.00, didn't we;"
