I am interested in the culture around drinking coffee in Greece. In Greece, besides being at the beach (only in the summer), going for coffee is probably the #1 pastime. So much so that, most of the time, when people want to arrange a meeting they don't really say "let's go out". Instead, they say "let's go for a coffee". Coffee is also really big in Greece because of smoking. The majority of the Greek population over 20 years old are smokers, and coffee is directly linked to cigarettes for almost all smokers.
There are a lot of different types of coffee in Greece, and they are labeled differently than in the US. Initially, this was not in our learning plan, but Dan and I decided to devote a class to learning how to order at a coffee shop.

What do you think it is that makers smokers need a sip? Also, I guess I'll have to be all touristy and try all the coffees! Φρέντο καπουτσίνο!
