Bailey Kendall’s day at Skaramagas starts long before she steps foot on camp grounds. Every Wednesday, at 2pm, Bailey treks to the nearest metro line. There, she takes the blue line all the way to the end to Agia Marina, only to get on a bus—any bus that ends in the #6. She hops on and rides the bus until she reaches the stop at Skaramagas. Her journey is not yet complete; she has to walk through a dark tunnel, which leads to the edges of the camp. On Bailey’s first day, she followed a small crowd through a hole in the fence to find her way inside Skaramagas.

Nowadays, in America, we have lost the authenticity of European cafés as they existed in the 19th and 20th centuries. I long for the ability to walk into a café, and in doing so, enter a reality of salon culture that’s been dead for over 60 years.

But in an age of globalization and widespread social media, I have accepted that I will only get so close to achieving that ideal. Luckily – at least for the time being –  I think I’ve found my solution: Κέκκος.
