Astronomy Cafe

  It’s quite a hike up the hill but the ambiance of the cocktail cafe is very pleasant when you get there. It’s even quite romantic.
Service could have been quicker,... read more as I had to wolf down my cocktail in 8 minutes to make the slot in the observatory. I enjoyed learning a little about Jupiter, Saturn and some distant nebula, as it was my first visit to an observatory. I would recommend it as something to do in Falaraki .

  Love the bar €6 for this drink! Great views and great observatory. Arrived at 9pm and on the tour at 9:30pm!

  Wow !

Just wow !! I would recommend that experience to anyone !! I don’t know anything about stars or solar system but it was so nice to... read more see a Saturn !! That kind of things you see on a internet, but it’s better to see in real !! The cocktails were nice as well, we’ve asked to change something and it was no problem to the bartender ! I would highly recommend that to anyone !

  I love astronomy and cocktails so this was such a fun night out.
I use a wheelchair but can go up some stairs so could see out of the... read more telescope and staff brought me a chair.
Such a friendly place, fantastic cocktails and really chilled out evening. Observatory was fascinating. We went back for a second time.
Would suggest a taxi as it's a steep hill and not lit up.
We highly recommend!

  We had an amazing experience at the Astronomy cafe: a must visit! The location is incredible, at the top of a hill with an amazing view. It’s a nice walk... read more from Faliraki center, or you can take a taxi and you will be there in 5 mins.

We booked the ‘night observation’ for just 8 euro’s per person at 21.30. Because of Covid the groups are small, which is very nice because it feels very personal and you will have a lot of time to look through the telescope. We saw amazing things, stars millions of light years away! During this observation Christina explained everything very well and enthousiastic.

After the observation we told them that we really wanted to see a/some planet(s). We had to wait until 23.00/00.00 before Saturn and maybe Jupiter would be visible. In the meantime we had a cocktail en enjoyed the nice terrace. At 23.00 the owner took us to the second telescope for a private observation. The highlight of the evening: we saw Jupiter and Saturn! So cool!

Really recommend going here when you visit Rhodos! Very cool experience, really friendly people and a beautiful

  I really enjoyed the 50 minute talk within the dome looking at the stars using their machinery,

The cafe also had very nice milkshakes and we had a good... read more club sandwich. They also offered us popcorn which was nice.

Lovely staff too.

  We went here for a date night on holiday and it did not disappoint amazing experience, lovely cocktails, beautiful view and very informative! My partner proposed at this location because... read more it was so beautiful so will always hold a special place in our hearts! Also when the staff found out we got engaged they were so lovely and gave us a little goody bag and put a heart watermelon in our cocktails the little added touch made the evening that’s more special!

  Visited this place on the 06/08/2018 with my family 28 people in total, we sat down and waited to be served, there was a feeling that they didn't want our... read more custom, the group was mixed with young children from 4 up to 17 and adults.

We sat down and spent over 300 Euros, upon sitting down the waitress asked did I want to sit on a different chair which I replied I was fine with the one I had thanks (I found this weird because I’m a large person but I wouldn't say that I go around breaking chairs just by sitting on them, I mean I’d been in Rhodes for 12 nights before I visited this place and the number of chairs I had broken was 0) the service was very slow and some of the orders didn't arrive within I’d say 45 Mins, the crepes were hard and over cooked but we continued to stay and waited for our viewing appointment at 21:00, during the wait our children were looking at the instruments and other bits and bobs around the area and they were told rudely to sit down and wait.

This is when things changed, let me describe myself, I’m 6ft4 rugby player and I was sat on a wooden chair with my wife opposite me, id sat in the chair for well over an hour and I must admit the chair was very comfortable. anyway, next thing I know the owner (a blonde guy quite stocky) ask me to change chairs as he didn't want to break the one I was sitting on (even though I’d sat there for over an hour without a problem and it clicked that this must have been the reason why the waitress asked me to move initially).

I stood up and said its fine I’ll stand and asked the owner to cancel the crepe id waited an hour for, at this point my sister over heard what had been said to me and told the owner that what he had said was rude and that she wasn't happy about how the group had been treated and she was going to leave a trip advisor review.

The owner seemed dismayed by this and went over to a couple in the corner who we found out were his parents and was speaking to them in Greek right next to my other sister and my sister asked him politely to desist speaking about them in Greek as it was rude, the owner then began shouting in my sisters face and my sister shouted back at him and walked to the carpark, the owner then shouted at the group to get out and he was calling the police, he was pulling chairs from under people and calling everyone names, he kept running back and forth shouting if you don’t pay I will call the police and they can detain you for 24 hours for no reason (no one had mentioned that we weren’t going to pay and everyone paid before we left).

Next thing we know one of the staff was shouting "she hit me she hit me" about my sister but this wasn't the case and my sister was upset, the staff member then calmed down and said my sister didn't hit her and was saying that because she was afraid we weren’t going to get paid meaning she wouldn't get paid.

The owner kept shouting at everyone leave, leave and was running in out talking our hire car registration numbers etc the kids were crying and he was shouting at them, he shouted at my mother that he didn’t like fat or disabled people and he claimed that “BRITISH PEOPLE are all the same”

So, after the bill was paid he pushed my sister out of the bar just as shed finished paying screaming like an absolute lunatic, he then followed us to the carpark and got on his motorbike and started revving it loudly trying to intimidate us, this made the children even more worried and they were all screaming and crying.

  I love to learn and see new things. This evening was very interesting. Had fun time in the cafe with a friend and also got to learn and experience night... read more sky through a telescope! The owner was very knowledgeable. Definitely worth the visit!

  This is a lovely and magical location in the very top of the hill overlooking the sea. The views are magical and the drive up to the place is very... read more special. He staff are all nice and friendly and we had a lovely cappuccino.

Unfortunately it was last day of the season and it was cloudy so the observatory was closed. We walked around the garden and read all the information on the solar system and stars.

I will come back next time. I reccomend this place!
