In Athens, in an area called the Plaka, there is a store called Brettos that makes its own ouzo. The store is legendary for its ouzo's smoothness yet potency. This could have been where you went, or it could have been something a local cooked up himself.

One of these days, I hope to get to Athens and try the local brands of ouzo. Until then, I'll make due with imports of the better stuff like Babryannis or Ouzo Mini; Metaxa and Sans Rival are swill, the Greek equivalent of Miller and Budweiser, but in a pinch they'll do.

And thank you for your service.

Maybe Brettos is where I went. I don’t remember how I got there or how I got back to my ship and up the gangplank.
Your thanks is appreciated. Hopefully, my very modest contributions helped the nation function a little better.
