Best fish soup I ever had (in greece)

Satisfied customers of the fish? Well, until we tried it anyway . . .

These trains were pretty cool, cheap, fast, probably German

Athens restaurants – don’t get your hopes up

In general they were very disappointing. I really think the best food in Greece is just the basic stuff grilled meats, tzaziki, pita, etc. We tried one “gourmet” place that was really more gourmet in price than in quality.

If you just want the best black fish soup you ever had (made from cuttlefish ink) try it at
Varouklo www.varoulko.gr.
Don’t order anything else on the menu especially not the fish dishes which it is supposedly famous for but we found it to be rubbery and not that good.

good place for souvenirs in Santorini

They have these GREAT handpainted pottery plates and vessels for holding olive oil. The brand I liked the most are made by someone who calls herself “The Centaur” and lives in Athens and is a friend of the owner.
