  • 1. Ouzo

    Greece wouldn’t be the same without this spirit. Drunk with mezes, this aniseed flavoured distillate packs a powerful punch.

  • 2. Tsipouro

    Made from the residue left after distilling muscatel grapes, fiery, warming tsipouro does its job best in winter months.

  • 3. Retsina

    Not subtle, but affection for this wine with pine resin cuts across all age and class barriers.

  • 4. Hima

    Home-made barrel wine, often poured into pitchers or plastic bottles directly from casks on the taverna wall.

  • 5. Mavrodaphne

    It means “black laurel”. The best grapes for this rich, dark, port-like sweet wine come from the Peloponnese.

  • 6. Aghiorghitiko

    Deep, velvety “St George” wines from Nemea are the rising stars of the growing Greek wine industry.

  • 7. Assyrtiko

    Greece’s finest white wine is redolent of honeysuckle and figs – one of the most unusual in the Mediterranean.

  • 8. Savatiano

    Greece’s most common white wine is great with seafood and salads; it’s most often found in tavernas.

  • 9. Greek Coffee

    Thick, sweet, pungent mud of strong, black coffee. Ask for an elliniko metrio .

  • 10. Frappé

    Nescafé, milk and cold water whipped into a pleasant, cool froth.
