Saganaki is one of those dishes that you can always find in a restaurant but people seldom make at home. I love making it at parties and get togethers because its always so loved, especially by the kids. I mean who doesn't love fried cheese! All you need to do to make saganaki is pick your...

Many people don't think to rent a bike to see the city, but I think it's one of the best things you can do since Thessaloniki is right on the water and you will get some amazing views. Unlike different cities nearby, like Kavala, Thessaloniki doesn't have that many hills and is very easy to get...

I'm with you, I definitely don't like when the city is very very busy. There is a small downside because there aren't many locals, but usually tourists go to see the sites anyways and don't interact much with the locals.

Where did you teach Greek? At a local Greek school?

I love dakos, but Im not a huge fan of friganies, they kind of just crumble apart every time I eat them

I've been wanting to get more and more into watching ancient Greek plays both online and hopefully in person when I get to visit Greece. Does anyone have any advice on some good intro ancient plays to watch? And may be any advice on where I can watch these online? I know that some of them may be...

When many people think of travelling to Greece for history, they may think of Athens or Crete… but I'm here to tell you that Rhodes is one of the best places to visit if you love history. The island is full of mediaeval history and has some of the most beautiful and old mediaeval architecture in...

Oh to be young again and be like the boy in this advertisement. This is exactly how I feel when I'm unable to celebrate Greek Easter the proper way! Is anyone going to be traveling to Greece this April for Easter? If so, please post your travel pics here! It would be such a joy to see them!

Can you handle this recipe? This is probably one of the most unique recipes that I have ever seen, especially in terms of baklava. Its more fo a show off recipe, and Im not really sure how it would taste but if youre looking to wow some of your guests and try something fun I recommend you check...

If you're looking for cheaper car rental options, and the car rental companies located inside the Athens airport are too expensive, one of the best travel decisions that I made while travelling to Greece two years ago was renting a car that was just outside of the airport. There are many car...

These lemon potatoes are loved all over the world, especially in Greece! They are a staple of Greek cuisine and can be paired with pretty much every Greek dish, but especially meat. They are slow roasted and drenched in lemon and olive oil to get a very crispy texture and tangy flavor. Usually...

Beef broth is a great thing to add to many different Greek recipes such as yorvalakia, dolmadakia and all types of soups. Even though you can buy beef broth at the store, it's always better to make your own if you have more time. It's also cheaper and very environmentally friendly! I always...

A friend of mine actually brought this up to me. There has been recent discussion that the existence of the secret schools (krifa sxolia), where Greek children were allegedly taught how to read and write in Greek during the Ottoman Empire is actually a bit contested. Some scholars say that the...

So true

I love Zorba! What a classic!

Lycabettus hill is one of the best spots to hang out in Greece hands down! The view is phenomenal and absolutely breathtaking, I highly recommend that you take the cable car and go to the top to see the entire city of Athens. There is a small church and restaurant/cafe at the top where you can...

When taking taxis in Greece, be sure to stay safe and be very aware. In some instances, taxi drivers will try and charge you a bit more from your trip, especially if they realize that you're a tourist and don't know where youre going. One of the most important things is to ask your taxi driver...

Woooow that is so shocking. Climate change is a scary thing. Was the island prepared for it? How much snow was there?

I wish, that sounds so fun

Interesting point, thanks for sharing
