Greek Food - An Appreciation

If anyone wants to know the real reason why we like to charter in Europe- it's the food.  The simple, well prepared meals in places like Italy and Greece are a big reason people want to spend their vacations on the sunny coastlines and islands down there.  We have found you can get an authentic Greeek meal even in downtown Athens for the same price or less than at home.  Food seems to be slightly cheaper the closer you get to a marina, which is fine with me.   If you pay for your own boat repairs, it is probably true you are poor. The exchange rate on the Euro vs. the Dollar is very good now- 1.36. 

Here is a plate of stuffed green peppers at "Plakiotissa" which is in Plaka near Acropolis Metro Station.  We are getting to the point we have been to some places more than a few times over the years, and they keep getting it right.  We were asking yesterday about lemon soup- which is apparently only available in the winter.
