    Great spots for food in Karpathos

    Well, I have most of my recommendations for places to eat in Karpathos in Pigadia, or Karpathos town as we have heard it being called. But we did visit the nearby village Amoopi as well, so our favorites for the cutest beach town ever are also in the mix. At the bottom of the post, you will find some honorable mentions, and recommendations for bars, coffee shops, and cute places. Greek salad, some wine, and a plate of mixed grilled meats @ Mama Maria Restaurant. Don’t you just love the little blue decanter that we got served with wine? So cute! We started with sharing some dolmades for starters and…

    Did we really eat that much tzatziki?

    Yes, that is the question… did we really eat that much tzatziki? And the short answer is yes. But if we opt for the more extended version I’ll try to explain our obsession with the Greek little piece of magic served in a bowl. It’s really quite simple, it’s yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and spices. Tzatziki. And we love it! We stayed in Karpathos for seven days, and as you can see there are eleven pictures of tzatziki so we had it more than once a day. If I am not mistaken we had tzatziki with all of our meals, not for breakfast though – but I definitely could, but it…

Some of them we have already tried, some are in the near future and some of…

    Lunch at the Food Project

    As we were heading towards Acropolis in Athens, Greece, we decided to stop for a quick bite to eat, and as we passed by the Food Project that seemed like a fitting place for us. Isn’t it just lovely to be able to sit outdoors and have lunch in january? The restaurant is located just about a few minutes walk from the entrance to Acropolis, so it was really the perfect place for us. Having a smaller lunch for us means having a pizza and some tzatziki to share, and a drink of course. I ordered myself one of my favorite drinks, a Espresso Martini, Hanna had a Limoncello Spritz…

    The greek food

    Who doesnt like the greek food, right? That’s only one of the many reasons I’ve gone back to Greece, I’ve actually been to quite a few of the islands but also on the mainland. I simply love Greek food, the lamb, the seasoning, tzatziki and all of the different small fingerfoods that are always served as appetizers. But my absolut favorite is lamb kleftiko. It’s a rustic, traditional Greek recipe made with slow cooked lamb, first marinated in garlic, olive oil, feta cheese and lemon juice.Have you ever tried it? //Ann
