Types of Coffee Available to the Greek Traveler

Filtered Coffee in Greece = Cafe Filtro

Filtered coffee is a bit different here. Its stronger and fresher as they don't make a big pot of it and pour you your cup out of it 3 hours later if business is slow.

Instead they serve you individual cups  with a removable self contained filter apparatus on top and you pour the water thru yourself  so it can drip into your cup beneath. Fresh every time.

Instant Coffee in Greece = Cafe Stig-may-ous or 'Ena Ness'

Instant coffee perhaps, needs no explanation, so I'll just tell you that to order it, ask for Nescafe, (ena ness) a Nestle's brand of packet instant coffee I am sure you have drunk at least once in your life.

Espresso & Cappuccino Coffee in Greece = Ka-Poo Chee-no & E-spre-sso

This need little explanation and is readily available and made with real Italian style machines. Its not the cheapest coffee on the menu however and no matter where you go a cup of joe seems pretty damn expensive to me!

4.50 euros for a cup of coffee? But if you are going to sit there and nurse it all day taking up that table and chair with a view, what's a bar owner to do?
