Beautiful views and wonderful food. The owner was exceptionally attentive and served us the most delicious dinner. My husband tried the moussaka and said it rated a 8.5 on the Don scale! Wow! I don't think any other Moussaka has ever reached that level. He said it was creamy and tasty at the same time.… Continue reading The Taverna To Pelagos
The Dionisos Hotel has been a favorite of ours since 2012 when we spent a few days here and again later in 2015. Now we are back to another place that 'feels-like-home'. Our hosts son has taken over the day-to-day operations but still remembers us from previous trips. Welcomed again with joy and open arms… Continue reading A Special Place- Mytikas
Blessed by the gods the Greek people have been the caretakers of the gift of Athena 'the olive' and the gift of Dionisos 'the vine'. This has become a recurring theme of mine for our travels in Greece; the importance of the olive and the grape vine to the lives of the Greek people. Two… Continue reading The Olive and the Vine
One of our favorite spots on mainland Greece we happened upon quite by chance a few years ago and come back every time we are in Greece - Nea Anchialios. Just 20 km from Volos it is tucked into a quiet little bay on the Pageaetic Gulf. We have stayed at the Paresos Hotel for… Continue reading Paresos Hotel and Nea Anchialaos
As we drove along the beach way toward our hotel for the night we noticed a lot of young people in full party mode, lots of music and fun happening here! We arrived at the Marathon Beach Hotel fairly late as we docked at Athens at about 7:30 and had an hour and a half… Continue reading Marathon Beach Hotel and Resort
In our week driving the island of Lesvos we saw an amazing array of country side from lush Pine forests to massive olive groves (over 11,000,000 trees), from scrub brush along the storm ravaged shores to the hills covered in wild herbs, from roads too small for a car to goat paths that we constantly… Continue reading Our last day and night on Lesvos
The Mytilana Village Hotel and Resort is a lovely property that is well cared for and right on the sequestered seashore, with kayaks and a dock, this hotel is close to Mytileni but just outside the city. Quiet and peaceful surroundings with numerous patios, a seaside cafe and a restaurant makes this a great place… Continue reading Mytilana Village Hotel and Resort
When contemplating dinner on our second night in Agios Isadores [Plomari] we hesitated to go anywhere else but the Akrogiali Hotel and the wonderful home cooked food. But, being dedicated to doing the restaurant reviews I promised, I decided to 'fall on my' butter knife and seek sustenance elsewhere. We decided that a restaurant just… Continue reading The Sunset Restaurant – Plomari
There are places in the world where, as soon as you enter, you know you have come home! As we walked tiredly through the Aegean blue front doors into the Akrogiali Hotel we knew we had found another home. Our host Pearsa and her mom Irenei were there to welcome us with open arms and… Continue reading Akrogiali Hotel and the Aegean Blue Doors
We know it as stuffed eggplant. But, 'little shoes' describes it so much more flamboyantly! The Greeks do have a way with words. It is that divine combination of half an eggplant (aubergine), perfectly seasoned meat (of your choosing), Â covered with a thick layer of ever-so-creamy bechamel sauce and baked to perfection. Pearsa's mom Irenei… Continue reading Papachaika – little shoes
