Best milk for freddo capuccino is 1.5% milk, so yes, it's actually low fat milk froth! It's a greek invention, as is freddo espresso. It dates around almost 30 years back, but became very popular around 10-15 years ago. During the past recent years many tourists have come to know those drinks are more popular among the locals than the iconic frappe, so lately the drinks started to shyly spread out to some neighbour countries as well. I know italians are known to take their coffee seriously, but we also do take our coffee seriously and drink lots of it and experiment a lot on it! There are the hardcore of us who drink freddo espresso or capuccino all year round, but most of us drink cold coffee from April to October and switch to warm coffee November to March when the weather is colder. As most greeks are born to feel grumpy during bad weather days, it's pretty common for most of us to drink cold coffee during i.e. a 15 degrees sunny day during January, after 10 days of 0 degrees cold, cloudy, rainy or even snowy weather to celebrate the sunshine. What can I say, we are addicted to sunshine... and coffee!

Greece has so many beutifull islands but Macedonia is one of the coolest places that you can visit in Greece. Thessaloniki has deffinetly super party life!!

"Thessalo-niki" means "Thessalian Victory" (Thessalia is the first south region you see after Macedonia, the Thessalians were allies with Philip, father of Alexander and fought against the Phoceans and won. So Philip gave this name to his new born daughter to remember that victory. She's got married to Kassandros, who build the new capital and named it after her as it is mentioned on this video too. Very cute video of our beloved "mother-city"! Ef-charistO (charisto has the same root with charisma - maybe a tip to memorize it)

You are both amazing!I love Thessaloniki the most beautiful city in Greece and also I like your videos! Thank you guys

Nice one. Thank you for visiting my hometown. Maybe next time you will have more time to show the lifestyle of the city which is very vibrant. Areas like Lathathika, Valaoritou, Navarinou are very alive. Also you didn't visit ancient Byzantine churches which are the main historic attraction of the city aside the old city walls. In the Eastern Roman Empire, Thessaloniki was the second biggest town. Constantinoupole was the capital and Thessaloniki the second in importance. Thus and since it is libarated from ottomans the ancient churches remain the most unspoiled and frequent monuments in this 2300 years old town...

Greece is tops.. been there and a lot of other places and I keep going back to Greece love the country love the food love the water love and light life and those beautiful Greek ladies

Great video again guys! Love it! So, about he freddo coffees. That's a Greek thing. It dates back in the '90s, but the origin is the frappe, which was invented in 1956 in Thessaloniki. Frappe is instant coffee shaken with ice. In early '90s in Athens, they thought, ok.. We Greeks love cold coffee and espresso and cappuccino is more fashionable and healthy then instant coffee and that's how the two sorts of freddo were born and they are today the national drinks in Greece 😍🇬🇷✌️😂
