F.G.T ?

Commencing next Wed-nesday and continuing throughout the season are the weekly F.G.T.s, the “Forum Get Togethers”. Held at different venues in the Village, the FGTs are an opportunity for members of the Roda Online Forum, and anyone else interested, to meet over a cup of coffee. The meetings are all informal, with no agenda other than to chat about our favourite holiday destination, Roda.
Check the forum before you travel for details each venue. Posters are also distributed around the village each Sunday.

See you soon!

As the song says - “You date a girl and find out later, she smells just like a percolator … They’ve got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil”. With 20,000 coffee shops, and coffee consumption running at over 16 million kilos per annum, Greece is not far behind in terms of consumption per capita. Historically, the Greek coffee reigned supreme and if you haven’t tried one, then you really should. In more recent years, of course, the frappe has

made huge inroads into the coffee habits of younger Greeks and it is amazing that the authentic frappe has never made as big an impact in other countries. Both of these are delicious and perfectly compliment the Greek mentality and way of life but things are changing as locals start to follow the habits of their neighbours, the Italians. As well as a move towards products like espresso freddo & cappuccino, it is forecast that the Greek consumption of espresso will quadruple over the next five years largely replacing the more traditional brews. As long as it is still served, in the Greek style, with a tall glass of refreshing cold water, then that’s OK! If you have any thoughts about where to get the best coffee in Roda, then post your ideas on the forum of rodaonline.

The Beans, they are a’changing...
