When in Greece

[willis]

The Greek Chardonnay on the Horizon wine list is very nice.

Hmmmm anyone who knows me will know that I maintain I go to Greece to enjoy it for what it is, not a sunnier version of home. I do however have to admit to enjoying a full breakfast at Eleni's. So I suppose the moral is to enjoy your Greek experience as you want it. I'll be tucking into some sardines and Mythos in another 9 bays - Yipeeee!

I agree with Joe.  I try my very best to sample the local dishes and, indeed, consume vast quantities of the local wine but still maintain that the experience of drinking an ice cold cider whilst watching that sunset is my idea of heaven!  If I wanted a hot version of the UK i would surely go to Benidorm or somewhere equally commercialised.

The od Metaxa or two goes down well!  Oh and also Ursus (Vodka and slow berries) given as a shot in the cocont bar!  Yammas!!

Forgot about Ursus... I really liked that when I had that in Crete, forgot I could have that so must remember to have another try in Corfu.

We have to admit that we like the occasion full english.  I never wanted to eat it on holiday in Greece as it didnt quite seem to go with "when in Greece" but we thought what the heck, we are on holiday and can eat what we like.  So, we tend to go for a long walk and come back in time for a nice leisurely late breakfast at the Captains.  They do fantastic breakfasts there with the best fried bread ever, which I never eat as a rule as they are so fattening but taste light and lovely there, so I break the rules then.  Its Mike's "reward" for me dragging him up and down the hot dusty lanes and hills around Arillas.  That lasts us all day (in theory it should) until our lovely evening meal.  At the Captains you also get juice, pot of tea or coffee in MUGS and toast/jam all in the price which is cheaper than in the UK.

Oh dear! am I a freak? I love my continenatal breakfast, I love all the Greek food my only lapse was once having a rather scrummy liver and bacon dinner at Marina. I refuse to eat English, I always remember someone in a resturant asking for plenty of gravy! and a waiter asking what toad in the hole was, HONEST! We hardly ever have chips and just love to eat med style (that is because i am useless at brit cooking, I cannot cook a sunday roast beef to save my life! ) Well anyway we all eat to enjoy so ENJOY!!

[blondegirl]

We would never eat anything other than Greek at night... cant even eat Pizza.  We did try chinese last year which was a disaster, never again!  We only have full english once or twice in the fortnight but other times its rolls and jam and yoghurt and fruit, quite healthy really.  I would feel really bad if I had to ask for toad in the hole... that is just too much!

[eve]

We always refer to breakfast to our healthy meal of the day, after that it is down hill all the way!!! Toad in the hole is another no no for me even here it is yorkshire batter say no more! signing off got the eldest grandsons here for night seem to have taken up wrestling, squealing as I write!! Ha. Ha.

[Maggie]

Bread fresh from the bakery, and boiled eggs for breakfast!! Can't beat it.(OH! and sunshine!!).....

Breakie-Full English At Billys

Lunch-Club Sandwhich Or Salad

Dinner-Anything Like to try the traditional dishes but thats more Mum's thing.

Mums fave fizzy drink is defoo iron bru as they dont sell it very much in england so she stocks up put in greece, Dad sticks to his methos and i just have fruitshoots hehe or ribenaa or i cant remember what its called but they sell this really nice energy drink a bit like powerade but the greek version.

[eve]

Each to our own! For energy I take out dettrox tablets, but can not wait for the very first meal I have not cooked, always the best!!!

[Maggie]

We've got loads of irn-bru here!!!!!!!!!
(don't really like the stuff personally)

[Shuey]

At Bardis Sun hotel breakfast was included.  One day egg on toast next day beans on toast and then bacon egg and beans. 
Dorita wa very obliging and would do me egg on toast as i dont like bacon. 
Orange juice, tea or coffee and a basket of toast everyday. We found this just enough rather than a full blown english.

Evenings - definately like to try all the traditional greek dishes.  Pizza and chinese, you can have them any time, but Stifado, Sofrito etc - they are not the same at home. So they are a must for me!

[vivian]

You must try Poppy's eggs, just right fully cooked but with runny yoke, you can tell they are fresh just by looking at them. Viv

I always remember someone in a resturant asking for plenty of gravy! and a waiter asking what toad in the hole was, HONEST!

I always remember when I was little, my parent's Greek friends driving over from Corfu to England to stay with us. We were trying to get Costas to eat some English food but he refused to have gravey. They just don't seem to have it in Greece. I remember him saying "Why must you cover all your food in thie English brown sauce?"
