Before going to explore some shops in Athens dedicated to the the 1st June  and World Milk Day, let’s have an update about the new covid travel news in Greece. So from today, wearing a face mask indoors stops being necessary in most places. It remains necessary in hospitals and diagnostic centers, in schools, university and libraries, and the means of public transport and ferries. But is still is being suggested to wear it when you are in crowded places.

So, World Milk Day today. It is celebrated every year on 1 June to highlight the enormous value of milk to the health, growth and further development of human populations around the world. Here are some of the traditional milk shops where you can find dairy products, some of them operates as a cafe too, so you can enjoy your coffee with a milky sweet in their place:
