Hello Tom, welcome to greek reality
The story with the overpriced cafe in greece its allready some years old.
Anyway since you mentioned Italy, with the exception of few touristic places there is no similar "coffee culture" like in Greece. That means that most people there drink an espresso for 5 minutes and then go...
Here you can stay in a cafe for hours...
Also there is no big variety of coffees like here, (especially cold coffees).
This is not an excuse anyway for the extremely high prices, but just to point the differences.
Thanks for the information anyway...

@Monica, ok we talk about the normal cafeteria that you find in a nice place, i have also examples of cafenia in small villages with only old men where you find a cheap frappe but thats not the case.
3,90 is a normal (!) price in our days for a coffee in Athens.
