No, you are not being cheated if you pay more than 4 euros for your coffee. Going out for a coffee is more than a break for many Greeks. Many see it as the equivalent of ‘going out for a few pints’ in England or Germany.That’s why it’s expensive. It’s a cultural thing, unlike drinking Greek coffee which only old people drink these days.

It depends how you order it, glykos means sweet metrios means medium sweet “me oligi” means just a taste of sugar and “sketos” means without sugar.

Although I dont suggest trying greek coffee which is really heavy and only old people and tourists manage to drink. I would suggest trying frappe(Cold) or NES(which is the same as frappe but hot) which is by far more popular amongst locals. Again as with greek coffee sweetness depends on how you order it.(check the first paragraph) Average prices range from 1-3euros for greek coffee 2.5-5 euros for frappe and nes.(Even less if you have your student card and you are not visiting a tourist attraction, ask the waiter for more information) If you pay more than that you are probably beeing cheated.
