I vaguely remember how delicious authentic Greek food is, from my brief school girl visit back in the 1970s. Three weeks until Indy and I fly out and the downsizing and packing continues! Thanks for taking the time to link up this week.

Having said that, the view from the Kardamyli restaurant would have me dining there every evening, even though there is so much to explore around the country.

And, of course, dining in an atmospheric olive press or gazing at a sea view can also "season" those Greek dishes, too. 🙂 Loved your photos which had me drooling (just a little bit!).

Our favorite restaurant in all of Greece is there--and that's saying something!--Leotrivi. Have I recommended my favorite Greek cookbook to you? Even though you're downsizing, you might want to take a cookbook in English back to the little house in the Mani.Vera Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979932693725250068noreply@blogger.com
