THE VENUE

BOOK YOUR EVENT

What you would like to know,

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.

GET TO KNOW US & WHAT WE DO

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

MEET OUR PEOPLE

Meet George

“Myrtillo for me and for all of us who work here is very important. Above all, it means working without obstacles”

Meet Costas

Kostas is a barista. He is one of the old timers at the shop. He has supported us through thick and thin.

"I had no experience before coming here. This is where I learned the job and what I have learned from Myrtillo I give back every day. Myrtillo gave me the opportunity to show what I can do. We are normal people, neither above nor below, we are equal to everyone."

Meet Magda

“I joined through an OAED program in 2016, with no service or kitchen experience. Myrtillo means a lot to me. It means love for work and love for people”
