Is Greece the perfect country?

Greece has iced coffee available in every cafe...
Known as frappés, iced coffee is most offen served in a tall glass with a straw. Unlike their similarly-named franchised counterparts, frappes are simple: just coffee with sugar and a ton of froth at the top. After cycling in the hot sun, a frappe is a delightfully cold treat!


Greece has amazing beaches...
Over the course of the last month or two, our route has skirted off and on along the coast. While it's always a treat to go to a beach, we've become somewhat choosier about our beaches as of late. The Greek beaches that we visited were sandy, the water warm and there were free beach chairs available (provided that you bought a frappé...).

  
Greece has delicious convenience foods...
After months of sandwiches for lunch, we were pleased to find tasty canned side dishes avaialable in all supermarkets. We particularly liked the stuffed grape leaves, stuffed peppers and giant beans in tomato sauce. Yum!
