Demitasse Cup Sets from Athens
Wherever you go in Athens, you’ll see how locals just let the world go by, while they drink their coffee in peace in outdoor cafes. These little cups are part of this culture, and almost a ritual that would be nice to perform when you’re already back home and to your normal routine. And what’s great as well is that they come in so many designs, you can be sure you’ll find the perfect set as a gift for anyone in your life. As for where exactly to find these cups, we don’t recommend overpriced tourist stores, but suggest you go up Athinas Street from Monastiraki Square and check out the side streets – plenty of choice there!
Interestingly, one of our recent delivery cases we told about in our blog, is about a traveler from Greece!
Nasal Cheese from Romania
This delicacy originated in Transylvania, and is now one of the world’s most appreciated cheeses. Legend has it, the cheese was invented by accident – by hiding stolen cheese in a cold and humid cave. Nowadays to make Nasal, people don’t have to go to such lengths, though the manufacturers are very keen on preserving as much of the old ways as possible. You can find this cheese at any grocery store – that’s another great thing about it!
FYI, Romania is one of the most popular traveling destinations for European travelers as well!
