An idyllic Greek isle

The eating places are called tavernas and range from typically Greek to something more upscale which they call a bistro or a ristorante. There is something for every taste. Our favorite is a taverna right beside the sea. We can feed the fish from our table. Most of the dishes are still made by the family matriarch. The table cloths are paper, the wine is brought in a jug, the staff are friendly and all speak English.

The waterfront is lined with cafeterias and one of them is sure to become your daily hangout. From here you can watch the world pass by, the arrival of hydrofoils and water taxis and all for the price of an iced coffee or a cold beer.

I was born and brought up in New Zealand and from there went to England on my 'overseas experience'. 40 years ago I came out to Greece on holiday, found my Greek man and stayed for the rest of my life. Even after such a long time there is a lot I have to learn about this country and its language. I write a blog about life here on a small Greek island. Please check out Linda's blog.
