Flocafe

We got a really early start on our second day in Greece. We left our hotel in Athens, took the metro to Piraeus and rushed to catch our ferry to Mykonos, the Blue Star Ithaki. These ferries are more like small cruise ships than commuter ferries. There is a lot of seating (and on overnight ferries, sleeping cabins) and also lounges, a fast food restaurant and outdoor decks. We paid for business class (only slightly more) and had enough space to sleep comfortably on the couches.

One of the ferry's features is the quick service food outlet. Since we were in business class, we could have gotten waiter service, but we chose to get the food ourselves so we could look at the offerings in the glass cases. (I think it was also a little bit cheaper.) Flocafe had a lot of offerings, including pastries, sandwiches, sweet desserts and ice cream.


We got 2 snacks and A got a coffee.


One of the snacks was the sausage roll.


This snack consisted of one long hot dog wrapped in phyllo dough. The sausage itself wasn't bad, but there was a lot of phyllo dough which was too dry. The bites which were hot dog with a layer of pastry around it were pretty good, but all that excess phyllo dough on the side was just unnecessary.


Our other snack was a turkey and gruyere sandwich (if we remember our menu choice correctly).


The sandwich was fine. It was lighter than the sausage roll since it had fresher ingredients and wasn't a lot of baked phyllo. We liked it better.


The snacks we had from the Flocafe were a good breakfast and enough to help us get settled in for a nice long nap before the boat made its first stop in Syros. Were they great? No, but they were good enough!
