The next day, I was woken up by the sunshine and after a local breakfast, the owner suggested visiting a nearby undeveloped traditional town, where the taste of the old was more pure.

Walking along the labyrinthine streets with few visitors in sight, it is a quiet and undisturbed hideaway from the noisy world.

It's a microcosm of Santorini, with layers of jagged blue and white stone houses built along the hill, traditional Greek architecture, iconic white staircases, and lazy cats and dogs.

From the top of the mountain, you can see the blue Aegean Sea on one side and the towering mountains on the other. Immerse yourself in a gorgeous and romantic sunset and listen to the fairytale town tell the enigmatic eternity of eternity......

All rooms face the sea, and the layers are staggered. As far as the eye can see, the walls, floors, roofs, sofas and parasols are all white, and the snow is reflected in the blue sky without the slightest cloud, and the Aegean Sea is a vast expanse of blue.

The sea reflects the afterglow, sparkles with a moving light, and everything is just right, which is what inadvertently turns a trip into a poem.

Back at the hotel, a sumptuous lunch has been delivered to the private balcony, sipping a cup of authentic Greek coffee without hurry, overlooking the blue waters of the Aegean Sea and the spectacular volcanic islands.

Elegance blends local influences, moderation and playfulness with the addition of home-furnishings and decorations with local characteristics, all of which are designed to better enhance the magic and beauty of the Aegean Sea.

This kind of luxury in simplicity, nobility in simplicity, the overall style is in perfect harmony with the surrounding environment, and the extraordinary staying experience is a unique and in-depth experience that touches the heart.

Try the specialty, Mousaka, known as the national dish of Greece, which is made up of minced meat, eggplant, tomatoes and potatoes, added to cheese, stacked on top of each other and baked in the oven.

It looks a lot like Italian lasagna, the difference is that potatoes and eggplant replace the dough, and the taste is good, especially for Alice, the little girl can't resist the cheese.

A large plate full of Souvki, Greek kebabs, as for the taste, there is not much seasoning modification, simple salt and pepper give full play to the taste of the meat itself, the main thing is that the amount is large and full, each skewer is solid and large pieces of meat, pork skewers, chicken skewers, lamb skewers......

For the two brothers Xia Long and Xia Hu, this is called eating!

I finally found out that those who love sheep come here, stewed, roasted, sheep's head, sheep offal, sheep intestines, only you can't think of it, there is nothing they can't do.

The first time you eat roast lamb sausages, wash the intestines, stuff them with lamb or chicken, and bake them slowly over a charcoal fire......

There's even roast haggis, which is stuffed with marinated and mixed sheep offal and wrapped in circles and sausages. The oil on the roasted lamb intestines drips down little by little, and the entrance is crispy and fragrant, full of strength.

All over Europe, the most amazing feta cheese here is called Feta. Salted, without a shell, the flesh is white, firm but crumbly, with small holes and cracks.

Take a bite, hold it in your mouth, and remember the well-known advertisement:

Not all cheeses are called Feta.

Compared to the long and rich history and art of Greece, it seems that the food culture is relatively simple. There is no complicated cooking process, just the simplest way of baking, frying or stewing. Also not overly seasoned, with locally abundant olive oil and garlic with lemon or salt.

Olives, in particular, can be said to constitute the basic life of the Greeks, used to make soap, lotion and other daily necessities, but also the core of the cuisine, various pickled olives, olive oil, tapenade......

After eating, lying on the bench, enjoying the sea breeze and soaking up the sun, I suddenly found that Alice was silent, staring at the coffee cup in her hand with big eyes, and muttering something in her mouth?

Coffee divination?

"The Greeks liked divination, believed that everyone's luck was changing every day, liked to predict the future, plus the history of drinking coffee was early, and now coffee divination is the most popular. ”

As Johnson stared curiously at the coffee cup, which was indeed filled with irregular patterns, Alice carefully poured out the remaining coffee grounds and revealed: "Tyche is the goddess of fate in Greek mythology, who often brings good luck to those who believe in her, and in order to get her favor, she will use the leftover residues, shapes or patterns after drinking coffee to predict her career, love and health." ”

Seeing that SC Johnson didn't believe it, he ordered a new cup, put the plate on the coffee cup and shook it slightly, closed his eyes and thought about the problem, then carefully turned the cup back and waited for the temperature at the bottom of the cup to cool, and finally opened the cup carefully.

"Look at the pattern, the cup represents the present, the top of the cup represents the future, and each shape has a different meaning!"

"The appearance of a four-legged animal or tree is usually a sign of success, such as a job promotion, a successful exam. There are some surprises in the presence of birds and the like, preferably the kind ......that spreads its wings and flies high."

"It's rectangular this time, I'm probably going to get rich!"

SC Johnson couldn't help but laugh, what the hell is this?

The little girl likes this kind of inexplicable thing, Alice doesn't care about others, she puts the plate vertically, lets some of the remaining coffee on the plate flow, and there are words in her mouth, and the first stream of water represents the first wish, the second stream represents the second wish, and so on.

"MYGOD, just look at it and go down, it's such a short time, the wish will come true soon!"

Everyone laughed, it seems that the superstition is similar all over the world, there are all kinds of strange things.

I heard that now the country is saddled with a huge debt of 320 billion euros, and the negotiations with the EU are pulling and boiling, and netizens scolded them because the Greeks themselves deserve it, they are too lazy and should not help them.

The average working week here is 42 hours, which is longer than in Germany!

Germany, which is known as industrious, is only 35 hours old, and Greece is criticized by the outside world as a grasshopper, only caring about basking in the sun happily for the summer, and not thinking about storing grain in the middle of winter, why carry this black pot?

It may be because many families have small farms and small workshops, and they work for themselves, but the income is not high, most of them have a monthly income of less than 1,000 euros, and there are many people who are below the minimum wage level of 700.

Daily life is lazy, go to work at 10 o'clock in the morning, spend an hour or two on lunch lunch, work until three or four o'clock to get off work, 57 years old rush to retire, lying at home comfortably to receive a pension.

In the summer, office workers go home to sleep at three or four o'clock in the afternoon and don't wake up until seven or eight o'clock in the evening to drink. Often a cup of coffee, a beer, and a conversation until late at night.

Asking for leave, arriving late, leaving early, and sometimes absenteeism without saying hello seems to be commonplace there. Many foreign companies do not even want to hire more locals, even miners, but hire black workers from Macedonia and Bulgaria.

Eastern Europeans are generally more diligent and obedient than Greeks, do not strike at every turn, and are paid a lot less. Mining is only 400 euros per month, who doesn't use it?
