Cafe culture

Athenians take their coffee culture seriously and the city's cafes are busy round the clock. Traditional Greek coffee (cafe elliniko), small, black and bitter, can be ordered without sugar (sketo), moderately sweet (metrio) or extra sweet (glyko). It comes with a cold glass of water.
The younger generation prefers the long, cool frappe coffee. It's made with instant Nescafe mixed with water, ice, milk and lots of sugar. For many greeks it's a way of life. And personally I love it a lot...

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
