The ‘Season’ed Traveller goes now

Greece is blessed with splendid weather all the year round. Winters are mild, while summers are warm with clear blue skies and little rain.

‘Savour’ Faire

Horiatiki, the sumptuous Greek salad is a favourite among tourists. Also, don’t miss a bite of the mouth watering vegetable and meat fillings wrapped in dough, named Boureki in Greek cuisine.

Get to Work

Travelling in the winters? A day at Mt Parnassos is a must for skiing and other snow sports. The sultry summers are just the time to bathe under the crystal water falls and river trek at Karpenesi.

What’s the word ?

Though English and French are spoken, to avoid feeling like an alien, mug up some useful phrases of Modern Greek (Demotike) which is the official language. Perhaps, Yahsu (Hello) and Kathika (I’m lost) might be of much help.

Keepsake Courtesies

Not the best for one’s health but Cuban Cigars makes the most popular pick-ups. Do take a handful of Matia trinkets, known to keep bad luck at bay.
