Greece trip, Jun 2007 - Coffee and Sweets

Greek coffee is essentially the same as Turkish coffee. But don't make the mistake of calling it Turkish in Greece!

Coffee and water are mixed in a "briki" that is placed directly on a bed of hot sand.

The coffee is usually quite sweet so it is served with a glass of water.

If you prefer a cold drink, Caffé Frappe (a kind of iced coffee) is also a good option.

Here are some Greek sweets. It is quite similar to those in Turkey, as both countries were under Ottoman rule between 14th-18th Century.






I am not a great fan of these sweets, but the warm weather in Greece makes it a great place for enjoying ice cream:
