New Greek Food Blog

I have just made a new blog which I have been threatening to do for some time.

Its a blog all about Greek Food, called 'The Big Fat Greek Food Blog', it will give some recipes, rants and thoughts about Greek Cuisine. The good the bad and the ugly, it will all be in there. And your comments too, I hope.

Michaelis Tsouganakis

Here is one of my favourite songs by my favourite Cretan musician, Michaelis Tsouganakis. This appears on the studio album 'Axtides' which is well worth tracking down.

Kadros - ‘Ancient of Kantanos’

Almost everything Lynne and I know about the historical site in the hills above Kadros - signed to ‘Ancient of Kantanos’ - came from our friend the late Tony Fennymore. Tony took us here, and to other local sites of Viena and Irtakina, and made the places come alive with his vivid descriptions. “Imagine you were standing here 3,000 years ago,” he would tell us, “this is what you would see.” Tony always intended writing a guide to these sites, but never got round to it, and now it’s too late.















Tony kindly offered us his rough notes to Kadros for use in our book ‘Ten Walks from Paleohora’ (see below), and now, with permission from Ann and Tony’s family, they will give much additional interest on a circular walk of approx. 10km from Kakodiki, a short drive (10km north) from Paleohora, or just 10 mins on the bus to Chania.
