Does anyone have any special Greek / Cretan recipes they would like to share ? Please comment. It would be interesting to hear of unusual or particularly good recipes or perhaps tips on making the good recipes outstanding ones.

Fun books on Greece to read

Some friends of mine bought me Brian Church's book "Always on a Sunday" (ISBN 960-86395-2-2). It's a great book to read and full of little 'easy to visualise' satirical descriptions such as the one on the back cover: "Going home on the late-night bus, it slowly dawned on me that there were in fact two people sitting in the driver's seat". Brian Church is the author of 'Learn Greek in 25 Years'. Can thoroughly recommend it for a light-hearted view of life and to brighten up your day.

Chania harbour front

Chania harbour front - October 2005. 

Hmmm....the locals seem friendly! But then it was Christmas when we met!

Walking around the backstreets of Chania you might come across something really interesting!!!

A very Christmas'y scene in a shop window in Chania which we saw on New Year's Eve while looking round the shops.
