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...

I don't know much about Zaimis that he was Prime Minister of Greece six times. I didn't know this part about modern Greek history, and I am truly very shocked. It's not very common that a political leader is reelected so many times. Does anyone know what was so special about him and that made...

Meal prepping is one of the best ways to plan meals ahead to save time and to eat healthy. Many people also use meal prepping in order to lose weight or manage their diet. One of the healthiest meal prep combinations is a chicken souvlaki plate which includes skewered chicken, rice pilaf and...

Pasta salad is perhaps one of the easiest recipes to serve for dinner and then eat for lunch the next day! I like to use Misko orzo, because that's a Greek brand and I like to think that it tastes better even though I haven't actually done a taste test ahaha. This is how you make it... 1. Boil...

Split pea soup is a super healthy and hearty source of iron and vitamins! The ingredients are super simple and there are many different ways that you can customize the soup. The only thing that I recommend is that you rinse the split peas very well because sometimes there are rocks and debris in...

Greek wheat rusks can be used for a number of things! Many people use them as a substitute for toast and will use various spreads such as butter, jam or cheese on top. You can also use wheat rusks as a bread crumb coating for a number of recipes and also use them as a more savoury crust for a...

I love the Percy Jackson series! It's inspired by Greek mythology, not actual Greek mythology

I know that many people living in Santorini now have geared their lives and careers towards tourism. There are also many people who live there seasonally, meaning that they only come during the Spring/Summer to setup their shops, hotels or restaurants for the touristic season. I have not lived...

I am thinking of visiting Thessaloniki this summer to visit a few friends and learn more about the history of the city...I am wondering where would be the best place to stay? What is the niehgborhood that is most central and next to the most activities? What would you recommend?

This is one of my most beloved story that I always read growing up. The story is based on the trojan war which was an actual war that happened in ancient Greece. The story is based on deceit, and the idea was that soldiers would hide in a wooden horse and wheel it into palace walls to deceive...

Amazing!

Syrtos is one of the most popular Greek dances across the entire country of Greece and across the entire diaspora. Its also one of the oldest dances and has been recorded in paintings and history books for many many years. I am so happy that this dance is still in existence and that people are...

Definitely no later than the tourist season....

Definitely so!

Happy Holidays!

This is a classic recipe for anyone who is looking to make a traditional Christmas dish! Ham is eaten in Greece and all over the world during Christmas time. I have heard of some people in Greece eating Turkey and now a days, people will eat any type of meat that suits them. Christmas ham is...

This is one of my favourite things to make during Christmas because I don't like desserts that are super sweet. This bread is so tasty and kind of reminds me of tsoureki. The bread is super aromatic and has a great blend of spices that will make your house smell excellent when baking it! The...

I love to use seasonal zucchinis for this recipe! They are usually available in late August :) Add ground beef to a skillet, crumbling with you hand just before placing it in the pan. Stir the meat and the onions together and saute until the meat is cooked all the way through and has been...
