This is fabulous! That pastry at Doupiani House…you can tell how much butter was used cause of the look of the flakes of pastry!
My last time in Greece was in Santorini (not my choice) and the food was disappointing, but I had no hand in the choice of restaurants, so…
I never thought I’d want to return to Greece after that, but looking at your pics and reading this, my interest has been sparked.
BUT: Driving: I’m used to driving in Italy and Spain where I can read road signs and ask if I get lost. Was it easy to find your way…assume you had GPS in car, in English??
Great report…look forward to more!!
I live in NYC and although the many Greek places have their fans, I have never found a place I wanted to return to…even in the big Greek area in Astoria…just fair–all of them. “oily and bland” is just about right, for those I’ve tried.
We have a large Greek population near the house where we spend our summers, on the farthest reaches of the North Fork of Long Island. Farmstands there sell “Vlita,” which I do like very much, although I cook it like I would kale or collards…par boil and then douse with olive oil…also good in frittatas. We also have a large Mexican population and they refer to that green as “quelites.” It’s related to amaranth. I wonder if you saw it on your trip???
