As for alcohol without alcohol, a bottle of juice costs 3 euros, and a 500 ml flat water bottle is sold for about 1 euros. For one liter of plain water, the prices go up to 2-5 euros, depending on the place. Coffee, including Greek Frappe highly appreciated, has a price that varies between 2 and 5 euros.
The comments of the Romanian tourists are divided. Many say the prices are correct for the quality and portions offered. “At which portion of salad you receive here, you can feed two people. It is not like in Romania, where you are given a salad leaf with a cut tomato”comments on a user.
Others notice the discrepancy to previous years: “In 2019 we were taking two gyros and two beers with 10 euros. Now it is double. But cheaper than on the Romanian coast,” wrote a tourist.
Some users point out that price differences are large between taverns. “In the more isolated villages or on less commercial islands, you pay 6 euros on a full meal. In resorts, you give 20 without realizing it.”
