Greece - we are coming

It has felt like forever since we've been there. With not going to Greece last summer, the kids are beyond excited to get to Kavala! They are counting down. Lots to get done before we leave but what else do we really need.....swimsuits, sunscreen, flipflops, ziplock bags, foil and parchment paper, oatmeal, chocolate chips and essential oil mosquito repellent!! I know, funny list of things but these are really the only things I really bring from the USA!

Things we are looking forward to seeing and doing in Greece. Here is a picture display of our favorites!!! 35 days and counting!! Enjoy!

Recipe of the Week: Kormos from Greece

Image
Hi Everyone As a continuation from last year, this year each week I will try and make a Greek recipe here with the Greek ingredients that I can find here, that are usually a little harder to find in the states!!! This recipe however no problem finding the ingredients in the states!!! There is a restaurant we go to often called Isalos. We know the owners and they wait for my little group to arrive because my kids order big and we eat a lot!!! The speciality is fish and seafood of all sorts!! Here is a picture from last year to remind you of where I am talking about!! The Greek tradition when you eat at Greek restaurants is that the owner gifts you the dessert! Yes, no paying for dessert!!! And they usually bring you ice cold watermelon and a sweet dessert. Well at Isalos the favorite amongst my little group is the Kormos!! Literally no plates needed, you quickly just stab the nicely cut piece with a fork and just eat it off the fork! And then you fight for the few remaining p...

Riva Beach Club & Bar

As our days are counting down, I am going to share with you the reason we come to this lovely place..............crystal clear blue warm waters and an atmosphere of relaxation and calm. Many people ask me about all the political and economically disruptions and difficulties in Greece, and yes all that does exist, however in our small little oasis called Kavala we are in our own little bubble of wonderfulness!!!!!!!!!!!! Riva Beach Club and Bar Here is a list of the main reasons we love this beach Crystal clear waters that are shallow Small kids play swimming pool Best wooden platforms and lounge beds in Kavala This beach is in a beach area called Ammolofoi. It is a stretch of wonderful, crystal blue water, shallow beaches about 30 minutes from Kavala. We head to this area about 4 days per week and frequent the many beach clubs in this area. For me going to the beach in Greece is called Civilized Beach going......you have bathrooms, showers, changing rooms, cafe/bar and...

Here is Niko!!

Image
Hi Everyone Niko is having a great time here. He has probably taken the longest to adjust as he is very settled in his life in San Diego with his school and classmates! But he has adjusted and is having a great time. Although he does ask a lot about his friends: what they are doing, where they are going for the summer, and if any are close by to him in Greece (Jonas in Norway is the closest and that makes him happy). Niko is a lover of the sea and the ruins of Greece. He is a sponge for anything historic and is constantly on the look out for ruins as we drive anywhere. The loves the sea, swims everywhere, snorkels and loves to eat everything that comes out of the sea. His favorite is the full size, grilled squid!!! He even asked Papou for it on his own......"remember Papou last time (2 years ago) I ate squid, but the whole thing, that is what I want".......and he got it!!! Every chance we get we eat squid!!!   Niko's favorite things in Greece Swimming Beach...
