The kafeneio


If I were retired, and living in the middle of town, and it was a fine day, this is what I'd want to be doing, and this is where I'd go to do it - meet my friends at the local kafeneio (cafe), a predominantly male domain, where the local males meet up with each other, have something to drink, talk politics, read the newspaper, and keep out of women's way. This kafeneio is near Saturday's street market, a place to buy local produce.
