Consumers in Greece boycott high coffee prices

From Balkan Travellers :

A large number of Greek consumers are organising a boycott of the expensive coffee served in the Athens cafés, which they claim is one of Europe's priciest.

The protest, planned to take place this Saturday, is organised through the Internet, the Greek Ta Nea newspaper reported.

More than 5.8 billion coffees of all kinds, with an overall value of 1.8 billion euro, are consumed each year in Greece, according to the publication, which also noted the Greeks' strong connection to coffee.
