Timetable
Most cafés and bars are open every day, from breakfast in the morning until around midnight. Some night bars only open from 6pm-7pm and stay open until the early hours of the morning. Pastry shops and tearooms often have a weekly closing day and variable opening hours.
Budget & Tips
The price of a café varies greatly: from "Balkan" fare in less touristy villages, to "Parisian" fare in the fine establishments of city centers and the most popular panoramic locations. Here are some average prices: €3.40 for a cappuccino, €4.50 for a pint of Greek beer, €2 for a soda. The good thing is that you can stay for hours at the same café table without having to renew your drink.
Age restrictions
In Greece, the legal drinking age is 18. But controls are rare.
What's very local
In the villages, the traditional establishment where men meet is the kafenio (καφενείο). As mores evolve, women are now admitted and there's even wifi for tourists. But most of the customers are retired men who here remake the world over a Turkish café (called elleniko since Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974), sipping slowly on a glass of alcohol (ouzo, tsipouro or raki) accompanied by mezzés or playing tavli (the national table game, very similar to backgammon) for hours.
Kids
Children are accepted everywhere, accompanied by their parents. As in restaurants, they are welcome. Children are kings in Greece and their noise level is very well tolerated!
Smokers
The anti-smoking law was passed in 2008 and began to be applied everywhere. Smokers are now concentrated on the terraces.
Tourist traps
Nothing to report, apart from avoiding establishments that need to employ thrashers. It's often a bad omen!
