The hip guide to Oia (aka how to avoid visiting cruise boat tourists)



Following on from yesterday's theme, this is the view from the little cafe where I have breakfast every morning. Greek yoghurt with honey, and espresso. Actually two espressos. Food of the gods.

This is my new favourite hangout where I have Greek coffee every afternoon, and sometimes after dinner with ouzo. They play wicked jazz all day through until midnight. I have developed an unhealthy liking for Greek coffee and Ouzo. Work will never the same without it.

And for a change of pace this place does great lounge/chill music until midnight.  Needless to say I'm a regular at all three and now they don't even ask me what I want when I walk in. Gotta love that! Or am I just that predictable?

And dear readers I do declare this is the world's coolest bookshop. It's run by an ever changing group of backpackers who work here in exchange for board (there's a small mezzanine floor with a mattress). When I first walked in there were three of them discussing philosophy. Oh to be 20 years younger!

It even comes complete with its own cat - but then again everywhere in Greece does.
