We had great food in Greece on three separate trips. Try spending some
money next time.

You don't have much choice in the smaller harbours!
In fact, you don't have any choice. The menu is the
same in almost all the restaurants.

I didn't realize it was possible to travel to Greece for free

One thing I love about the Internet, learn something every day!

What no roast beef and yorkshire pud?
How can you not like fresh vegetables,fish and olive oil?

Or did you go to a tourist town where they cater .. badly, to tourists
with replicas of food that the tourist would eat at home?
Soggy fish and chips and pizza with 1" thick base?

I enjoy eating abroad. The problem with Greece is that it is the same
vegetables and fish every day. The only meat in most places is goat,
and I cannot stand the smell of it.

It was a sailing holiday. We ate in small local restaurants
near the harbours.

The food in Turkey is a bit better, and has the advantage
that the people who work in restaurants know how to smile.

Gets a little monotonous after a while.
Plus, the Med is a cesspool. I personally would not care to eat fish
from it.

Careful there... in all Med cultures, insinuating that person eats
goat is a deadly insult.
Of course, the climate and land is such that goats are about the only
livestock that can thrive there, so pretty much everybody is a goat-
eater. Hope it's safe to say that from this distance!

The best pizza I've ever had was in northern Greece.
Also, the best C&W band I've ever heard was in a poinky bar outside
Athens (Lifadah).

Most of the seafood doesn't come from the Med....It's pretty much
fished out so they import.

Yep, there are quite a few, and usually very good.

They smile at Australians :-)

Greeks do that when they are amused.

wedding, to a beautiful Greek girl.... to bad we were both driven more
by lust than brains....
