Greece: virtual parties for Ouzo lovers during Covid-19

Drinking ouzo with a group of friends, gathering on the table which is full of delicious quiches or side dishes, sharing the latest news is a typical Greek experience. 

 

However, the country’s nationwide blockade has forced the Greeks to reimagine these social gatherings. 


Shortly before Greece was blocked, and after bars and restaurants were closed, Haris Bekris, an ouzo collector from the island of Syros, thought of organizing virtual gatherings so that ouzo lovers could drink the iconic Greek aperitif.

You need to drink in a small group, which is why we started these virtual meetings and can do The reason for the conversation for about an hour,” he said to AMNA.
