Food is communal. The best way to experience a culture is through the stomach. The best way to remember Greece is by its delicious fare and hospitality. Loosen up your belt and enjoy a feast, family style. I was able to get a taste of real old-fashion Greek tavern dining, a bit of nightlife, modern fusion dishes, and explored traditional food markets.
