But this year Christmas coincided with Saturday and we lost one national holiday. A shame.
Never mind. Yesterday Friday we Hubby & I finished work (I was ousted from the office, although I had not really finished work!) at 2:30 and met up in Syntagma.
It was not only us who want to do the same and most of the restaurants and cafeteries were absolutely packed regardless of the fact that the customers are constrained to pay 10 obligatory gratuity.
We headed for Valaoritou Street thinking that there we should be able to find a table as there are several cafeterias. The best tables of course were occupied but we managed to find space in Sofia's (free tables were only two!).
This was the second time for me to be here (the previous visit dates back 1.5 year ago).
Hubby, how had not eaten yet, ordered chicken club sandwich and frappe, while I got a pot of tea having already eaten and drunk coffee.
Hubby was disappointed to find crisps instead of French fries, but said that it was the best club sandwich ever.
My tea was served in heavy iron tea pot.
It was called "Silk Road" (on the menu it was written "Way of Silk" or something) and tea leaves were blended with pink pepper, cinnamon, ginger etc. It was similar to Tazo Tea of Starbacks which I like.
It was about 16 Euros in total incl. Christmas gratuity.

Stoa of Spyromilios was nicely decorated.
Then we went home to clean and prepare the Christmas tree.
Have a happy and peaceful Christmas, everyone!
