Food and drink

What would a grand travel experience be without good food and drink? Greece is one of the best places to experience wonderful grilled meat, fish and vegetable dishes while sipping Retsina wine or an ice-cold glass of ouzo-the Greek national beverage.

The Greek cucumbers called xylagoura are absolutely delicious as part of a Greek salad along with freshly grown, bright red tomatoes, green peppers and black olives, topped with a lovely drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a healthy chunk of Feta cheese. Served with a loaf of crusty, whole-grained country bread it forms a very healthy lunch.
