Title: Greek coffee
Post by: soniaP on September 01, 2018, 09:51:46 AM: I don't drink coffee but my daughter's boyfriend really likes and will be his first visit to Arillas next week.

Can anyone recommend the best places to sit and have a greek coffee. Also buyng it in the shop to make yourself - is there any recommendations for a certain type?

Hi
With a Metaxa in it, Greek coffee (black) goes down a lot better

you leave it in the cup when drinking it.

here is a link. Just copy and paste.

I'm not sure, we were at Bardis the last 2 weeks in June last year, we were a party of 3, me, hubby & our friend Pauline.
You do look familiar from your profile pic!

Post by: suzy61 on September 03, 2018, 08:56:10 PM: I love very strong coffee, my favourite being Italian expresso and I very rarely drink instant. However, I'm not a great fan of Greek coffee. Maybe I haven't had a decent one yet but so far I haven't really enjoyed it. It's not down to the strength, I just don't think the taste is brilliant.
