Happy National Coffee Day! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿคโ˜•

When in Greeceโ€”and this is no joke!โ€”we normally go out with family and friends for coffee almost three times a day. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜•

I know it sounds crazy, but itโ€™s true! Coffee isnโ€™t just a drink in Greece; itโ€™s part of our culture. Itโ€™s about slowing down, catching up, sharing stories, and spending time together with the people we love. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™

So, can you spot your favorite Greek coffee? ๐Ÿ‘€โ˜•

๐Ÿ… TOMATO FANS, WHERE ARE YOU?! ๐Ÿ…

How are we almost in October and my garden is STILL giving me tomatoes?! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ… Iโ€™m not complainingโ€ฆ but now I need to know what we should make with this harvest!

We have tomatoes coming in, fresh herbs, and plenty of garden goodness โ€” so letโ€™s turn this into something delicious. ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿณ

Should we make:

๐Ÿ… Makaronia me kima?
๐Ÿ… Homemade tomato sauce?
๐Ÿ… Slow-roasted tomatoes?
๐Ÿ… A giant Greek horiatiki?
๐Ÿ… Tomato fritters?
๐Ÿ… Shakshuka with a Greek twist?
๐Ÿ… Something completely unexpected?!

If you want to see our entire garden, check stories! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ‘Œ

Tell me what YOU would make with a mountain of garden tomatoes! ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป๐Ÿ…

One life, just one. ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ†๐Ÿฅ’๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฟ

Sunday is a day for me to relax in the garden and see what's blooming! I can't believe our tomatoes are so late this season, but I'm really grateful for them. We have almost 70 peaches that came in, but our grapes didn't make it for the first time this year. โŒ I'm not sure why, but hopefully we can figure it out and fix it for next year.

Our melons are coming in, and the herbs are still growing like crazy! Fennel is one of my favorite herbs, and marathopites are coming soon! ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™

If you don't grow your own food yet, I hope you give it a try! There's something so beautiful about watching a tiny seed grow into something you can nourish yourself with. ๐ŸŒฑ

It's a beautiful process โ€” and one that reminds me to slow down, appreciate what we have, and enjoy the little things. ๐Ÿ…๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™

Enjoy life guys because we only have one to live. ๐Ÿ™ Tomorrow I'm joining a friend of mine on her podcast and stay tuned in for that to come! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท

Mani part 2 is coming and we are wrapping that up soon! ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท

Have a beautiful Sunday!

Do you grow your own produce?

โœจ ITโ€™S HERE! โœจ Part 1 of 2

Where to go & visit when youโ€™re in MANI, GREECE! ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿค

Honestlyโ€ฆ I couldnโ€™t even fit HALF of my recommendations into this video ๐Ÿ˜‚ Soooo I think a full blog post is coming!

Did you know the Maniates were the last pagans of Greece? ๐Ÿ”ฅ

And for all my Greek mythology loversโ€ฆ youโ€™re going to LOVE Mani. โšก๐ŸŒฉ๏ธ

There are SO many incredible places connected to ancient history, mythology, gods, goddesses, and legends.

๐Ÿ“ Hadesโ€™ Underground
๐Ÿ“ Achilleion Palace
๐Ÿ“ Temple of Poseidon
๐Ÿ“ Oracle of the Dead
๐Ÿ“ Tainaron / Cape Tainaron
๐Ÿ“ Kranai
๐Ÿ“ And MANY more!

But here are some of MY top places to visit in Mani: ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐ŸŒŠ LIMENI
A gorgeous little seaside village with beautiful waters and coves. There are so many spots to swim, and you might even spot the turtles! ๐Ÿข

I LOVE walking around Limeni, grabbing a coffee or ice cream, and just taking in the beauty.

๐Ÿ˜๏ธ GYTHEIO
Of course, you canโ€™t visit Mani without seeing Gytheio!

Itโ€™s one of the largest towns in the area and the first major town youโ€™ll come across when entering Mani.

My family has shops here, so Gytheio holds a special place in my heart. โค๏ธ

Walk or bike around the port, watch the boats come in, grab a Freddo Espresso โ˜•๏ธ and some lalagia, and donโ€™t forget to pick up some pasteli, hilopites, and Mani salt! ๐Ÿง‚

๐Ÿฐ VATHIA
One of my MOST beloved villages in Mani. โค๏ธ

I swear I feel like Iโ€™m Pantelidis in the music video โ€œTis Kardias Mou to Grammenoโ€ when Iโ€™m standing here! ๐Ÿ˜‚

And yesโ€ฆ the music video was actually filmed in Vathia!

The views from the top are incredible. It feels like youโ€™ve stepped straight back in time. Dating back to the 16th century!

๐ŸŒŠ GEROLIMENAS
You HAVE to see this seaside village! Beautiful waterfront restaurants, gorgeous views!

AREOPOLI : Walk through the historic streets, admire the stone buildings. Have a coffee or perhaps local eats!

๐Ÿ›ถ CAVES OF DIROS
A MUST!

Iโ€™ve been trying to upload my old 2016 photos from the caves for this videoโ€ฆ but my laptop is ancient and decided NOPE. ๐Ÿ˜‚

The Caves of Diros are an incredible part of Maniโ€™s history, with evidence of human presence dating back to the Neolithic period. Don't forget the boat tour!!

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ทโœจ Who were the last pagans in Greece?
When we say โ€œthe last pagans,โ€ we mean the last people who continued to believe in and worship the ancient Greek gods before Christianity became dominant. Drop your comments! โฌ‡๏ธ
