Greek food as you’ve never seen it

Street Food in Athens must start with a great cup of dark coffee. The Greeks are known for their coffee and easy social manner. In a brass pot, it is traditionally brewed with sugar, it is meant for lingering as you drink the dark brew. Arriving at the Greek market we find fruits, olives, raisins and traditional fare. The shopping experience would not be complete without Olive Oil. Greece is the world’s 3rd leading producer of this liquid gold. Honey, Street Pretzels, Hot dogs, Pita’s, whatever your taste Greece can satisfy it for a reasonalbe price.

Key Takeaways:

• When morning coffee is served as thick, dark and potentially brain-exploding as this, we can only be in Athens
• We’re being served this potent, unfiltered concoction, brewed together with sugar in a traditional brass pot over a gas flame
• “Tea is for the sick and the infirm,” says Diana Kantaroglou

“When morning coffee is served as thick, dark and potentially brain-exploding as this, we can only be in Athens. We’re being served this potent, unfiltered concoction, brewed together with sugar in a traditional brass pot over a gas flame, as fortification for a food tour of the Greek capital.”
