I thought I'd ask a more of a provocative question on this forum. I'm absolutely in love with Greece, and I truly think that every single place in the country is beautiful. But of course, some things aren't for everyone. Which makes me ask the question, what place in Greece do you regret...

These desserts are some of the best you can make for your next birthday party or celebration. They will definitely be better than any American desserts that you can get in the bakery section of the grocery store. Personally, those are way too sweet and filled with confectionery sugar. These...

I've never heard of the this website, but it looks great! I might get it for French

Great explanation!

That sounds beautiful, where was this village?

Overall, Greece has a pretty relaxed dress code and no one really bats an eye if people wear revealing clothing. This is especially true for the summer and in beach towns, it's very common to see women and men walking around in bathing suits and short shorts. The one thing that you need to be...

I also can't get enough of Chania! Athens tends to be a little too busy for me. I like some quiet when I go on vacation. :) But that's just me!

I guess it depends on what type of contributions that different societies value. Definitely Greece has made major contributions in terms of western political structures and architecture for example which is highly valued in the west. Of course, there are other great contributions that Greece has...

Deboning a chicken can be super useful for a bunch of different Greek recipes. I personally don't like cooking with the bone in unless im roasting an entire chicken. This is especially my preference if im cooking for my nieces and nephews because they don't like picking out the bones. Once im...

The Hellenic College Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology is a college in Brookline, Massachusetts that is attended by many Greeks and non Greeks. I have read up a lot about the college but I would love to hear any personal experiences if someone on the forum has studied there. I look...

I love Santo! I visited Galavas as well and it was great, highly recommend both

It's so nice to see these young ladies carrying our generation forward! Many of my Greek friends are starting to lose their language and our traditional ways of life and so much Greek culture is being replaced by American culture that we see on social media. I am happy to share this video of...
