but were afraid to ask

Myrtillo Cafe is much more than a cafe. It is a Social Cooperative Enterprise with a special purpose: to provide a place for the integration of vulnerable groups (persons with disabilities) into the employment market, incorporated under Law 4019/2011.

Myrtillo has been operating as a cafe and event center since October 2013 and is an innovative self-supporting business and training entity, where all employees are jointly responsible for its viability. At present 90% of our staff belong to vulnerable groups.

Myrtillo today
Myrtillo circa 1957
A legacy of benefiting
vulnerable groups

The five buildings in the Park for Culture and Children, one of which we call home, were originally constructed after the Second World War with funding from Norway and in 1957 the complex was presented to Greece by the Norwegian Government to provide training facilities for the disabled wounded from the war.

Thanks to this invaluable donation, hundreds of young men and women learned various crafts here (as mechanics, carpenters, watchmakers, tailors and seamstresses, shoemakers, bookbinders, etc.).

HOW WE HONOR THE LEGACY
We ask not what our people can do for Myrtrillo, but what Myrtillo can do for our people
In more than a decade since we set out on this journey, we now boast 16 employees of whom 13 come from vulnerable groups
