Coffeehouses have a rich history that spans across continents and centuries. From the charming coastal town of Gytheio in the Mani Peninsula, nestled in the stunning Peloponnese region of Greece, to the vibrant city of Cadiz on the Costa de la Luz in Andalucia, Spain, these establishments have become cultural icons in Southern Europe. In London's Change Alley back in 1866, GARRAWAYs COFFEE HOUSE made its mark as tea was first introduced to England. This historic spot paved the way for a love affair with this beloved beverage that continues to this day. Traveling further westward brings us to Eastern Algarve in Portugal where one can indulge in Portuguese Custard Tarts while sipping on a cup of freshly brewed coffee. The combination is simply heavenly and offers a taste of European decadence. Venturing into Egypt during the mid-19th century takes us inside an Arab coffee house bustling with activity. As balls are cast at stoves, patrons enjoy their aromatic brews amidst historic surroundings - a scene captured beautifully through digitally restored reproductions from original photographs. Germany also boasts its fair share of iconic coffee houses such as Bremen's establishment dating back to the 1890s. These places served as gathering spots for locals and visitors alike who sought solace or lively conversations over steaming cups of java. Constantinople (now Istanbul) witnessed four men enjoying their hookah pipes alongside their coffee cups outside a traditional café circa 1880. Turkey's rich historical tapestry comes alive through these images preserved by digital restoration techniques. Closer to home lies Toms Coffee House located within Covent Garden - an oasis amidst London's bustling streets where weary souls find respite and rejuvenation over warm mugs filled with liquid comfort. The picturesque Church of Elkomenos Christos stands tall against Monemvasia's Platia Dsami Square backdrop on Greece's Mani Peninsula.
