As I wander the cobblestone streets here, all I can wonder is whether I really want to share this hidden gem by overposting about it 😍

Peaceful, historic, charming. Friendly locals, amazing fresh food and wine. I first visited in 1989 and though the landscape of the island's village has changed with the rebuilding of houses, the feeling of peacefulness and amazement has not.

Nor has the food 😋

This is real Greece.

It’s National Yo-Yo day! Did you know the beloved toy, the Yo-Yo, has Greek roots? The first historical mention was from Greece on a Grecian vase in 500 B.C.! Yo-Yos aren’t JUST a fun toy, but also a tasty Greek dessert! They are Greek cream puffs with chocolate glaze.

Thanks Greektown Chicago
