Kali Orexi!

Sunday 24 April:

Kali Orexi in greek language means "enjoy your meal"  I would like to suggest to you some pics of our dinner in Lipsi Island Restaurant in Rhodes! It was a very typical dinner in a traditional greek tavern! A very nice place for a very pleasant experience!

The tavern is managed by Niki and her family! Their motto acts: " Niki's service always leaves you with a smile". And it's True!

With the funny waiter, a member of Niki's family!

  
First we took Ouzu (greek anise spirits) like aperitif...but I don't like it! It seems like Italian Sassolino or Sambuca. So I think it's too strong for happyhour...but in Greece they usually drink it like aperitif!

Then we ate a savoury dish: Mussels Ala Chef. It was so delicious...mussels with feta, green pepper in a delicate sauce! Hmmm!!!
To drink wa took Retsina white wine. It's a very special greek wine made with pine resin. It has a very strange flavour, I don't know if I like it or not...with greek food was ok!
And finally we tried the Special dish for 2 people! It's composed by: Mousaka, Dolmades, Spinach Pie, Pita, Souzoykakia, Staffed, Tomatoes with rice, Green Pepper with rice, Pork, Souvlaki, Tzatziki, Beced Beens!
We didn't  finish the dish...it was too big!!! But it was great! 
We had a bellyful of greek food!

Ah Ah...Matti liked it so much!

Kalispera Rhodes!

Saturday 23 April:

First day in Rhodes: our Bed&Breakfast was Pink Elephant Pension , inside the walls of the old town! It was very nice and comfortable! The lady of the Guest House, Maria Luisa, was a very kind person!

Rhodes old town is very very very pretty...a mix of medieval and arabian atmosphere involved us!

The Rhodes new town area is the modern part of the city. There is the Mandraki seaport, the site of the famous Colossus of Rhodes, cafés, shops, restaurants, pubs, beaches...

For Lunch we ate Greek Gyros Pitta (it's like Kebab) and we drank Greek Hellas beer.

We drank also the Hellenic Coffee (I don't like it!).

Greek sweets with nuts and  honey (very good)

Spices in the market

Fredduccino (like Starbucks Frappuccino) for me and Coffee Frappè for Matti

For dinner we went to Romeo, a famous greek restaurant. We ate a lot of greek speciality like Dolmades,  Pumpkin Meat Balls, Swordfish Souvlaky, Grilled Octupus. For dessert we took Greek Yogurt with Honey and Kataifi with ice cream. We drank Emery,a white Greek wine.

Everything was so delicious!
