I'm glad you found the sharing useful. Remember to try the coffee Freddo Cuppucino when you visiting in the summer!!

Hi Celine, at 20:03, the gentelman with the large samovar is selling salepi (saloop in english), which is a hot dring made of orchid tuber. In ancient times it was considered to be an aphrodisiac. It's slightly sweet and served with cinnamon, good for fighting the cold weather or ease a cough!

Oh wow, Thank you Eleni! I wish I could have known this when I was there when it was below 10 Celsius degree. It was too cold for me >0< Do you know if it's tasty? I should try it next visit time when I visit Athens again.
