A stay in Pefkohori isn't complete until you experience the authentic Greek ritual of drinking tsipouro or ouzo with meze. These traditional drinks are not just alcohol, but a part of everyday life and socialising in Greece. In local tavernas and cafés, tsipouro and ouzo are served slowly, without any rush, with small plates of meze – olives, cheese, octopus, sardines, grilled vegetables or seafood.
Whether you're sitting by the sea or in the old part of town, you'll notice the drink isn't about its strength, but about the conversation and the relaxed atmosphere. Every sip is accompanied by a bite to eat, and every bite brings a new story, laughter, and enjoyment of the moment. In Pefkohori, you'll often be given an extra meze 'on the house', as hospitality is an important part of Greek tradition.
If you want to feel like a local, order a tsipouro on the rocks or a uzo with a little water and surrender to the slow pace of life that the Greeks so value. It's a memorable experience that keeps many guests returning to Pefkohori time and again.
