Greek or Turkish coffee ?
Turkish or Greek coffee are a method of preparation, not a kind of coffee. Beans for Turkish/Greek coffee are ground to the finest possible powder directly boiled in water. Just as the coffee comes to the boil, the pot is removed from the fire. It is usually kept off the heat for a short time until all the ground coffee falls in the bottom of the cup.Turkish or Greek coffee are normally prepared using a narrow-topped small boiling pot called briki. Traditionally, the pot is made of copper and has a wooden handle. We usually drink it very hot during summer holiday as well as during winter in Crete, served with some sweet delights. You will find all the equipement to prepare your own Greek coffee in the villa Maroulas.
