More trivia coming: Did you know there is an abandoned ski resort on Mt Psiloritis near Anogeia village? Also, there is alpine ski competition organised by a Greek company that gains popularity and probably will be hosted around to the old resort when it is finally revamped.

Hello Hash! Can you please try again. It seems to work perfectly, just did a small tweak...

Hello all! 👏 The Local Favour is a fresh startup that aims to bring together travellers with real Greek experts, ready to share their local insight. We are currently in the research process so we prepared a (short, we promised) survey to know better your needs, wants and preferences. We don't...

Well, only the version with the spicy red sauce. Everywhere else, we enjoy these with the traditional egg-lemon sauce.

They are both very traditional but they are different in the below: 1. Stuffed vine leaves are best served cold with yogurt on the side 2. Cabbage rolls are better hot or warm with either spicy red sauce (Northern Greece) or white egg-lemon sauce on top. 3. Dolmades is better when the vine...

You can visit the Litsarda Olive Farm or go talk with Stelios in Ntounias Taverna and Farm and I am sure they can let you help and then enjoy the fruits of your labour...literally!

Saganaki with graviera is amazing, also you can use it grated on pasta bakes. We usually add it to bechamel sauce for pasticcio and moussaka. Since you like it uncooked, try some honey drizzled on top!

Well, it depends on your budget as many Greek fashion brands have gone international and are on the expensive side: Check our Parthenis, Ioanna Kourbella, Ancient Kallos, Ancient Greek Sandals, Zeus + Dione, Callista Crafts to name a few . If you search for Greek designers, you will be amazed...

Sour Cherries drink is our childhood!

Hello all! My family does not use eggs - raw or cooked, but very simple ingredients. However, you may find the condensed sweetened mild too sweet but adding coca and dark chocolate will neutralise the effect! 250 g butter 400 g sweetened condensed milk 1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract 2...

A nice experience would also be ERGON deli cum restaurant at Mitropoleos st, where you can have a taste of local ingredients from Greek islands and mainland in a beautiful environment, too. Very good breakfast choices, too.

Greek Easter is an all-you-can-eat feast so I recommend to bring something refreshing that will go well with the lamb in your stomach! If you can find baklava, ravani or "portokalopita" (served with ice cream) it would be great. Personally, I would enjoy more a strawberry shortcake or a lemon...

Shrimp saganaki with feta, tomatoes and small Greek chilli peppers is a great appetizer. In my own version I use leftovers (if any) on linguini pasta and fresh parsley on top of it.

I would definitely suggest Crete and especially one taverna tucked in a village in Chania. It is called Ntounias and it is a restaurant cum farm with an amazing host, Stelios, who cooks everything in clay pots and open fires. No electricity, no microwaves plus he makes everything from scratch...

Crete is indeed an amazing place for families, especially when you want to combine beach fun with history: a visit to Knossos and archaeology tour just for kids, a wonderful aquarium, botanical gardens with duck ponds, paddling in lakes and of course endless sandy beaches with shallow warm...

Efharisto and a kalimera with a smile always do the trick. Greeks just like everyone else always appreciate when someone does the effort...

Hello, I believe a "wine me, dine me" experience in Chania would be totally romantic. A private tour by a sommelier and wine expert at a local winery combined with amazing dinner under the stars would do it. I would also recommend dinner at Tabakaria and Thalassino Ayeri for a cinematic scenery...

You didn't hear it from me but bungee jumping from the Aradaina 138m tall iron bridge must be the thing to do for any adrenaline seeker in Chania, Crete. The surrounding scenery is amazing and there are so many things to do around: from hiking Imbros gorge to enjoying raki at little mountain...

Hi, My personal favourite is Sfakia and its nearby remote or less remote beaches. Of course my favourite place to relax is Loutro, a tiny fishing village with whitewashed building, some tavernas and quiet nightlife. It is connected with Sweet waters beach and Marmara, where you can find...
