    What makes Cretan olive oil different from other Greek olive oil?

    I've always heard that Cretan olive oil is "liquid gold" or that it's somehow better quality than other Greek olive oil. Does anyone know if and why this is true? I haven't really noticed a difference in taste

    Best tzatziki recipe!

    I use strained Greek yogurt, preferably fresh from the Greek supermarket. Getting a good base for the dip is key. Then I just add garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and cucumber to taste! No measurements here ahah

    Is the Rhodes aquarium any different from other aquariums?

    Honestly there wasn't much of a difference. There are way better and way more unique things to do on the island than go to an aquriaum. Your intuition is right

    Did you know about Nemesis? The Greek goddess of revenge

    Nemesis sounds so interesting! And I assume that's where the name "arch nemesis" comes from. Nemesis is responsible for enacting retribution against those who show arrogance towards the gods or others. She is depicted as having a sword and scales in her hands...creepy!
