It took us awhile to drink just a shot and it was impossible for us to drink it all at once. It made my mouth and ears go numb! The hotel we stayed at had the most amazing breakfasts! So after stuffing ourselves with Greek yogurt, Cretan hard bread with tomatoes and feta, little pastries, omelets, crepes with chocolate ...
