 afternoon meal without
retsina? Impossible! by magor65,

What makes retsina something special is its unique flavour of resin. Ancient Greeks knew that air was the enemy of wine and decided to use pine resin to seal wine vessels, particularly amphora, not to let the air in. The resin gave wine its special aroma, so even with the invention of impermeable glass bottles, adding some resin to the wine wasn't stopped.
Retsina should be served chilled to the temperature of 10 degrees C. It goes well with majority of Greek dishes and salads. Leave a Comment

Whilst we were in Paralio Astros this year, we paid a visit to the small, inland village of Kato Doliano. We parked on the main road and walked up the main "shopping" road, looking for somewhere to have a drink. We soon found our goal, a cafeneon where all the men were sitting in the shade, nodding off quietly. We joined them and were made to feel most welcome as the men moved our chairs into the shade for us. Soon, most of the village's males appeared gradually, having just awoken from siesta, coming to view the tourists!
The second time we stopped here, we gave them all a laugh by picking up the table to move it and the table top came away from the rest of it!!! We could imagine them chuckling over that for years; those tourists........
The cheapest place we had a drink at for a long while. Leave a Comment
