Agios Gerasimos Monastery is at the mountainside monastery honors the patron saint of the Kefalonia. Dating from the 16th century, it is considered a sacred pilgrimage site. It’s super holy and I would definitely recommend it.

Yes, I went a few years back and I was actually able to visit the owner. She's a British woman who noticed that there were so many distressed donkeys wandering around the island. I really loved visiting the sanctuary, and it was so nice that I was able to contribute to the rescue.

Porto heli is amazing! It has some of the best resorts on the mainland

This is how i'm celebrating today! Zito ??

Wow I had no idea either. That sort of changes the way I view the whole holiday. Looks like I have to brush up on my history too lol, thanks!

I've tried beet root before, the color wasn't as strong but I did like the fact that it was all natural so it was sort of worth it. Something about eating the eggs after they're soaked in chemical dyes doesn't sit right with me.

It's crazy to think that something I've come to value so much about modern Greek people is actually from the ancient Greeks. Does anyone know where, when or from whom the concept of philotimo emerged in Ancient Greece?

That's such good advice, mom and me would be panicking to go to such a secluded island but it's definitely worth it if you can prepare for the worst. Definitely don't expect people to have first aid stuff around you, or for there to be a lifeguard. Bring any medications that you may need and...

Independence day celebrates the separation of Greece from the Ottoman empire. Greece was struggling for over 400 years to gain independence, and finally in 1821 they became an independent state.

I've never seen cave churches! These are beautiful thanks for sharing. The most religious site I've been to in Greece is church Panagia Evangelistria which has the Miraculous Icon of Virgin Mary in Tinos. It's really one of the holiest places in Greece.

Any wine recommendations for Santorini? I’ll be visiting soon and I want to see what all the hype is about and get a taste of the wines from the source!! Any winery tips would also be appreciated!

I like taking the kids to the beach and to restaurants in smaller towns and villages. There's always a bunch of local kids running around and they're super safe. Here's a list of villages in Rhodes: https://www.greekboston.com/travel/villages-rhodes/

My favorite tradition is coming together with my family and making tsoureki. It's so hands on and I love to get the whole family on board (even if we mess up the recipe lol)

My mom says that the key to baklava is adding rosewater to the syrup. It adds such an extra dimension of flavor and is so tasty. Don’t add too much, because it can taste or smell like perfume. I add one tablespoon to the syrup when it’s COLD!! Make sure you don’t cook it with the syrup.

I love avgolemono too, and I would also suggest something heartier like fava or a soup with beans. That’s one thing I love about Greek cooking, the use of beans! It’s so healthy, and super affordable.

Frappe!! Can't be beaten in my opinion

Hey everyone, I've been getting more into cooking because of Covid and I've been trying to perfect my families tsoureki recipe. I've tried so many times, and it's never as fluffy as it supposed to be. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? And never taste like the one my mom used to make… Or...
