Title: Drinks Prices
Post by: harry c on June 12, 2011, 02:35:37 PM: Having travelled around greece for many years, in a few days time we will be visiting SS for the very first time.
I have read on here that drinks prices are very reasonable - 2.5 for large beer, 2 for ouzo.
My question is - what size of ouzo? Some places give you a measure not much more than a double in England, whilst other tavernas give you practically a tumbler full! I like to finish a meal off at night with a "karafaki" of ouzo - that is, a 200ml small bottle (preferably plomari). Anyone know if these are widely available, and if so at what price?

Most ouzo measures seem to be of the industrial size that virtually fills the glass, so ask for a small bottle of water at the same time so you can water it down. I made the mistake ONCE of downing the glass on its own followed by others-big mistake the following day!!! ;D
You will love the Tsaros (and the family)- that is my favourite place to stay in SS- utter peace up there.

MY FAVOURITE WAY TO END THE DAY IS TO ORDER A KARAFAKI OF OUZO, A BIG JUG OF ICE AND A BOTTLE OF WATER, AND MIIX THEM MYSELF. WHAT A WAY TO UNWIND
