The CafĂ© Beyond the “Light at the End of the Tunnel”

This unique café is hidden beyond a historic tunnel. Enjoy stunning views, walk along the old railway turned pedestrian path, and explore the nearby Castle.

On the beach, on a rooftop garden, or with a city view—many people seek something beyond the ordinary when visiting a café. But trust us, they haven’t yet discovered the ultimate alternative coffee spot.

The “entrance” of the coffee shop

Galaria Platamona is not just any café—it’s built on the other side of a tunnel, and as you approach it, you feel like you’re stepping into a magical world.

Its name comes from the Platamon Tunnel, which was constructed in 1915 as part of the Athens-Thessaloniki railway line.

Gallaria: The Café in Greece You Can Only Enter Through a Real Tunnel

The railway line operated until 2003, when it was abandoned. In 2021, the tunnel was renovated and transformed into a cafĂ© named “Gallaria.”

It’s a modern café with a stunning sea view. Besides enjoying your coffee, you can take a stroll along the old railway line, which has now been converted into a pedestrian walkway. You can also visit the nearby Platamon Castle, adding a touch of history to your outing.
