I'm not sure if I'm going to be having a wedding in a church, so I am wondering what the process is of having a political or non-religious wedding in Greece. I know that the reception will be a classic reception, but is there someone who can officiate a wedding regardless of religion? And is...

I would love to start ordering from more online stores that ship directly from Greece, whether they sell food, clothing or art. I know that many of Greece's amazing mom and pop businesses do not sell online, but ever since COVID more and more business are starting to move their stores to online...

This is some of the most beautiful Greek traditional music and dance that I have seen. If anyone knows the name of the actual song and the type of dance, please let me know. I hope that one day I'll be able to visit the island and join in on one of the celebrations. I'm not even sure what...

Mykonos is one of those Greek islands that just can't escape its reputation of being expensive. I love this video because it gives you an honest look at how expensive the island can actually be. As always, take it with a grain of salt because you can truly make anything affordable in Greece by...

There are so many Greek Orthodox traditions and each are beautiful in their own way! My personal favourites are attending church throughout the week with family and of course spending all of Saturday and Sunday cooking food together with family. Of course, the best part of Easter is the tender...

This is something that is super popular in Greek restaurants all over the world. I never quite knew how they would get that flame to be so high up and then fizzle out within seconds. If you're ever wanting to do this at home, I highly suggest that you're very careful and try doing it outside in...

Its been one of my dreams as well, but I can't resist Greece in the summer. The beaches are too good!

Its definitely one of those dishes that you either love or hate. It's really good if youre sick though!!

The Pontian language is one of the few languages/dialects that still exist in Greece today. It is spoken by Pontians, who are a Greek ethnic group from the Black Sea area in Turkey, but now live all over Greece and different parts of the world. The dialect is very similar to Greek, but there are...

Monolithos Castle is a stunning castle that was built in the 15th century and remains until this day. This is a birds eye view of the castle so you can get a good idea of what the ruins look like. The Castle is located in the the village of Monolithos which is about a couple of miles from the...

This is one of the best ways that you can make saganaki!! This is how they do it in the most of the Greek restaurants where everyone says opa!!

I would love to visit to watch a game! One of the best things about being in Greece when the Euro cup or Champions league is on!

I highly recommend Monemvasia. It's fabulous and there are really great stores and restaurants. Its pretty much in the middle of nowhere and the drive is very windy, so just keep that in mind. I remember getting pretty nauseous but it was worth the trip. If you are driving down to Monemvasia...

These Greek potatoes are so tart and lemony and soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. They can be eaten with anything but are best paired with red meat or chicken. I like to cook them with chicken or meat in the oven so that the juices from the meat drip into the pan and flavor the...

One of my favourite parts of hosting a party is making homemade cocktails at home! My guests are always impressed and it's such a fun activity to do. All you need to do is gather some ingredients, some of which she will need to get from Greek specialty stores, and some of what you can find at...
