Frappé

Sunny skies are a rare joy in Berlin in the springtime. "If you don't go out for a frappe on a day like this, when will you?" smiles Stella, a Greek-German resident of the city, referring to the iced coffee drink popularized by Greek cafes.

In 1999, you could buy:

Cigarettes – 400 drachmas
Cheese pie – 100 drachmas
Frappe coffee – 500 drachmas

Basic wage was 170,000 drachmas (498 euros)

In 2015, you can buy:

Cigarettes 3.70 – 4.70 euros
Cheese pie – 1.5 euros
Freddo or frappe – 304 euros

Foreign scantily-clad women working as coffee vendors in Nicosia offered passers-by refreshing frappe wearing nothing more than hot shorts and tank tops. Cyprus citizens reacted to the indecent appearance of the vendors inundating regional roads and causing traffic problems.
