I was browsing potential sites to visit in Corfu and I notices that Mon Repos Palace has very different architecture from different buildings in the area and Greece in general. As you can see it has a point at the entrance which I've never seen before. Does anyone know why this is?

How did they learn to do the readings? Was it passed down in the family?

Do you cook them with olive oil or canola oil?

I'm so happy that you and your family can spend Easter together this year! Congratulations and God bless.

Expect dancing and partying! We're known for our weddings and they're so much fun

I've never heard of her! I rarely know about many of the gods and goddesses other than the classic 12. Thanks for posting!

What do you have planned? My family and I will be attending socially distanced church service and painting eggs! :) I'm so excited, I love this time of year

Any tips on what the little ones can do while on vacation in Crete? We're visiting Chania and Iraklo and I want them to be entertained. Thanks!

I just love getting mille feuille at the Greek bakeries! I tried making at home this quarantine and it was so good!! I thought it would be nice to share the recipe here: https://akispetretzikis.com/categories/glyka/milfeig

Hmmm...that's an interesting point. I'm also curious about the cruises (I feel like they might make an exception). Although I would be very careful on a cruise ship and only consider going if you're vaccinated. It might be difficult to receive medical attention if you're going from small island...

There's a beautiful traditional Greek lullaby called "Nani nani" that my mother used to sing to me, it's hard to find the exact lyrics online but if you have Greek family members they might know of it

Has anyone been to Kefalonia before? What's the most efficient and cost effective way to get there? Thanks

Does anyone know a bit about the history of Rhodes? I'm planning my trip and I didn't realize that there are so many castles on the island. Does anyone know why?

The Laladika district has some of the best shopping I've done in Greece!

Women should dress modestly when visiting any monasteries. Shoulders need to be covered and you should wear something a bit longer that covers your upper thighs. Other than that, just be respectful of those around you!

Good question! You don't have to dress modestly in Greece (unless you're visiting churches or holy sites), especially if you're in a tourist or beach town.

I don’t have any specific recipes to link you to, but I always make parfaits with really good quality greek yogurts and any fruits that are in season. I prefer to use Fage yogurt, and if you’re trying to be healthy I would recommend 0% or 2% fat. Adding nuts like walnuts or pistachios and good...

How sweet of you! Mandola is a traditional candy from Kefalonia and is probably one of the most popular exports. You probably will be able to find it in some Greek supermarkets, but it might be a little more niche. Try looking for it online, and maybe you can order it to your house. It would be...

I really like the acropolis of Lindos. My friends and I took a guided tour so we knew exactly what we were looking at, and it was so beautiful. I really recommend it! The tour guides there are super informative and helpful.

I've only been to the Archaeological Museum. It was pretty great although there are so many archaeological sites in Greece, so it may be worth seeing something unique to the island. What does everyone else think?
