Greek cuisine is easily mistaken for Egyptian and Levantine, but is not entirely the same. It does rely, as you might predict, on large amounts of olives and olive oil, and uses a large amount of lemon.
Ouzo
Ouzo is a form of distilled liquor from Greece, infused with the flavors of anise, mastic, and badiane. Traditionally, one might pour it over ice in a glass, producing a milky white appearance not altogether unlike the infamous absinthe, but it's easily enjoyed mixed with Coke if you can ignore the strong anise (licorice-like) flavor.
