This is where the heart of even the most remote village beats - from those of white and blue Greek isles to the most barren mountains in North Greece. Behold the humble kafeneio, the place in which most of the day people sitting for hours over their coffee and shots of drink, where history meets local fables over a cup of greek coffee. Throughout our journeys we ‘ve explored these cafes-social institutions of a bygone era and sought out the backwoodsmen who live on to salvage them. In Aspropotamos, Christos and Mr. Stefanos (in Chaliki and Krania respectively), in North Tzoumerka, Napoleon with Mrs Lambrini (Kalarrites), in Lake Plastira, Mr. Pantelis (Kerasia) and, above all, Mr. Stefanos in Paleokaria (Trikala) who is the oldest living grocer and kafeneio owner in the whole country. Simultaneously cafes, their shops for years have been also supplying the neighborhood with all kinds of goods, whereas nowadays they are more of a folklore attraction for urban travelers. However, a kafenio is what Greece is made of - and not just another place to drink coffee-, an authentic reminiscent of old good times that should be enshrined. Let's enjoy some of them before they fade away...
