in Athens 2nd major Square, Omonia is a good one, Bravo is another. They
also sell ground coffee or will grind it for you on the spot. Other areas

and near Athens Central market. There are scores of coffee and tea stores.
Greek and International Teas for the Greek TravelerIf you want to order TEA in a cafe or restaurant say "Tsai". Of course there are different types of teas depending on the establishment. Some have extensive selections and some just have Lipton tea-bag style tea available.
More politely say 'ena tsai parakalo' or one Tea please.
Chamomile tea is called "Kamo-meeli". Greek Mountain tea is very good as well and called Tsai Vouno.
