A tourist was massively ripped off in Santorini for a frappe coffee, which ordinarily costs €1.50-€2.00.

A Greek doctor, who is currently on the Cycladic island for a few days’ vacation, told Proto Thema that he was charged €12 for the beloved Greek ice coffee and an additional €6.5 euros for a freddo espresso.
