This is with Style holidays, they have reduced all their villa's for all the Greek Islands this week.

I have some great memories of the Greek Islands and have spent many wonderful holidays there,but I really must say that I tired of the food.... :cry:

I really liked the food but then its not so different to what I normally eat. Only had one thing I did,nt like..........cold lumpy mashed potato with about 6 cloves of garlic, raw. Good job it was only my starter.

My wife loves the greek food but then again she is a big carnivore, I tend to find greek food a bit on the boring side apart from Santorini where I found the restaurants varied with some excellent dishes that I have never found on other Greek Islands, I remember a dish of deep fried tomatoes and a wonderful stuffed squid. 8) :lol: 8) :lol:

Interesting comments Ian. Of all the places I have been to on holidays, Greece probably has the widest and most varied choice of food. I found such a good lamb kleftiko in 1 restaurant in Santorini, I could have eaten it every night.
I never once got bored of eating Greek food, something different every night, meat or fish.

Apart from a greek salad which I had most lunchtimesI could have had something different every night for a month. It was lovely, like Tony I had my favourite, beef stifado which I could have eaten every night.
Ian dont go to Finland, its reindeer soup, reindeer pasta, reindeer pie, reindeer pizza infact reindeer every-thing :lol:
