I’m thinking of going to the Cyclades next time I’m in Greece and would love some advice. There are so many islands to choose from, and I’m not sure which ones are really worth visiting. I’m open to both the popular spots and some of the quieter, less touristy islands. I’d love a mix of...

I am thinking of going to the Cyclades islands (some of them) next time I am in Greece and would love some advice from fellow food lovers. I know each island has its own specialties, and I want to make sure I try the best regional dishes while I’m there. I’ve already heard about louza from...

Hi all! I’m planning a trip to Santorini later this year with a bigger group—about 8 of us, all adults—and I’d love some tips from anyone who’s done it before. We’re trying to figure out the best area to stay that’s scenic but also practical for a group (maybe with a villa or multiple rooms...

I’m helping plan a bridal shower and we want to include a Greek food theme since the bride’s background is Greek (and she LOVES the food!). We’re doing more of a buffet or small bites-style setup, so I’m looking for ideas that are easy to serve, crowd-pleasing, and can hold up well for a party...

I might be heading to Santorini soon and would love some foodie recommendations! I’ve been to Greece before but never to the Cyclades, and I’ve heard Santorini has some unique local flavors thanks to its volcanic soil and island traditions. I’m looking for fun, regional dishes that really give...

I’m planning another trip to Greece soon and this time, I want it to be all about the food! Last time I visited the usual tourist spots, but this trip I’m hoping to dive deeper into regional cuisine. In your opinion, what are the best regions in Greece for food lovers? I'd love to hear about...

I’m thinking about doing a little solo side trip to Mykonos and could really use some advice. I’ll be in Greece with a group this summer, but no one else seems interested in visiting Mykonos. I’ve always wanted to go, and I’m considering breaking away for a few days to explore it on my own. For...

What’s your favorite Greek cheese and how do you use it? I’m partial to feta—it’s always in my fridge and I toss it into just about everything. From horiatiki salads to spanakopita to a simple omelet, it just works. But lately, I’ve been trying to branch out and explore some of the other...

I’ve been thinking about a summer trip to Santorini, but I’ve heard about the earthquake activity on the island. From what I’ve read, it seems like the situation is under control now, and things are stable—but I wanted to check in with folks who are either there or more in the loop. Has anyone...

With spring around the corner, I’m feeling inspired to cook lighter, seasonal dishes—and I’d love to explore more Greek recipes that suit this time of year. I’m looking for simple, home-style ideas that are fresh, flavorful, and not too heavy. Think herbs, olive oil, lemon, spring...

I’ve recently started experimenting with homemade phyllo dough, but I’m struggling to get it thin enough and achieve that perfectly flaky texture. No matter how much I roll it out, it never seems as paper-thin as store-bought phyllo. Any tips on the best rolling technique? Do I need a special...

I’ll be in Athens soon and would love to take a few historical day trips to explore ancient sites beyond the city. I know there’s so much history in Greece, and I want to make the most of my time! Some places I’m considering: Delphi – Worth the trip for the Oracle and ruins? Mycenae & Epidaurus...

I travel to Greece at least every other year, but I just realized I’ve never really thought about tipping customs there. When eating at tavernas or restaurants, I usually round up or leave a little extra, but I’m not sure if that’s the standard. Do people tip a certain percentage like in the...

I’m heading to Santorini for three days on my next trip, and I want to make the most of my time there! Since it's a short visit, I’d love recommendations on the absolute must-see sights and experiences that I shouldn’t miss. Of course, I plan to catch at least one famous Oia sunset, but beyond...

I’m planning my next trip to Greece and am trying to work out my itinerary. I’d love to visit Mycenae, as I’ve always been fascinated by ancient Greek history and the stories of Agamemnon. I’m currently thinking of making it a day trip from Athens—does this make sense, or is it better to stay...

I'm planning a trip to Greece and would love to take a cooking class to learn how to make authentic Greek dishes like moussaka, tzatziki, and maybe even baklava. There’s nothing better than learning directly from the locals! For those who’ve done this, where is the best place in Greece to take...

It's been a few years since I've been to the Peloponnese and I've been thinking about it lately because I love the food! I want to return and want some tips. Last time I went, I spend most of my time in Monemvassia. I want to go back, but I don't want to spend all my time there. Do you have...

I recently visited the stunning Peloponnese region in Greece and absolutely fell in love with the local cuisine! I enjoyed the fresh seafood and unique regional specialties, every meal felt like a celebration of flavors. Now that I’m back home, I’d love to bring a bit of that magic into my...

I lost track of that thread so thought I'd repost. Thanks!

I am still looking for recommendations on Tavernas in Lindos to try. I haven't been to Lindos, yet. Also what dishes should I try? Any advice on making reservations or what times are best to avoid crowds would be super helpful too. I want to make the most of my time and enjoy some truly...
