A couple of local craft beers.

And a late night snack. This is an extremely popular bakery bakes koulouri - Greek sesame bagels. Even at around midnight, they still bake fresh one, mostly of the classic sesame covered type, but also some specialties.

We opted for a couple of more interesting kinds, both fresh out of the oven, and pleasantly warm on a chill night (chill in Greek standards). One is sesame and raisins, the other with sunflower. Both are slightly chewy, quite sweet as far as  bread goes, with a nice nutty flavor from the seeds. Can't think of more perfect post-drink snack.

At this late time, they still made Wolt-style deliveries of bagels, as well as preparing larger deliveries for shops.

We also got Greek doughnuts, with chili-honey syrup. Crisp and not too sweet. But the sauce was strangely artificial tasting.
