Welcome to … a touch of Greece! 

 Interested in Greek cuisine?  Planning a trip to Greece? Are you an admirer of Greece interested in its history and culture?

Who better than an authentic born and bred Athenian to pass on to you my passion for Greece.  Learn all about its heritage, customs, recipes and breathtaking destinations.

What you will get out of this site

The information that you’ll find will be through first hand knowledge and experience.  After all, growing up in a typical Greek family environment and living in Greece for 15 years, can assure you that the information conveyed will be authentic. 

Everything I love about my country is packed in these pages.

• Its glorious history, captivating culture, traditions, and genuine way of life to name just a few.  

• Tried and true authentic Greek recipes that have been handed down for four generations, many coming directly from my grandmother’s hand written recipes which my children and friends have been enjoying for years.
• Suggestions on where your next voyage should take you.  No matter what time of year or season, “many” of which we have visited first hand.  The only reason I say “many” is that there are hundreds of remarkable destinations making it impossible to have visited them all. 

My favorite lists of everything, including:

1. Top 10’s of fascinating places to visit,  whether it be the islands, Archaeological sites, UNESCO world heritage sites, natural wonders … the list is never-ending
2. Amazing itineraries, i.e island hopping, touring the mainland, the Peloponnese or even by theme
3. Best reasons to travel to Greece – why Greece can satisfy the tastes of every traveler
4. Awe-inspiring photos of Greece – My personal collections of photos and videos that are truly inspiring.
5. Delicious tried and true recipes – passed down by four generations, or our own creations.
6. Unforgettable Cultural and Historical articles that will fascinate you.

… and lots of other faves that you discover.

Other interesting topics you will love

For you history buffs, I’ll try to capture the unending history of over 3000 years, not to mention it’s enchanting and captivating mythology.

History, travel and cuisine are so often interrelated.  Subsequently, many articles will have background information relating to the origins of a particular subject.  For example on a “travel” post you will be introduced to the history and/or culture to that specific destination along with its culinary specialties. etc.

You will discover many other miscellaneous bits and pieces of information that I know you will appreciate and won’t find on other websites. All based on my entire life’s knowledge and experiences.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy reading and exploring these pages as much as I’m enjoying putting it together!

Would love to hear your impressions, thoughts, and any ideas that may help to make this blog better.
