Avoid alcohol or coffee

Both coffee and alcohol can dehydrate you during a heat wave. That is why it is recommended to avoid them as much as possible, at least in the middle of the day, when the temperatures are at their highest.

As Greece is famous for its high temperatures, Greek people have come up with this smart solution to drink coffee and still maintain a cool temperature in your body, and we are profoundly grateful for their discovery.
