“I felt once more how simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine,
a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. Nothing else.”
— Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek

Your voice. Your table. Your Greece.
Solo dining in Greece taught me that where they seat you tells you everything. A new community platform where solo female diners rate their taverna experiences — not the food, but the welcome.
Let’s find those places that do it well.

About Me
Island hopper, story collector, travel inspirer and Greek Island specialist
Greece tends to reveal itself slowly – one harbour, one hillside village and occasionally, one cancelled ferry at a time. After thirty-something years of exploring more Greek islands than I ever intended to, (and spending my work days creating tailor-made island hopping itineraries), I’ve a fair sense of how to navigate Greece’s transport networks – how they work and sometimes how they misbehave!
What I bring back are glimpses of authentic Greece through my own ‘lived’ experiences. (I only write about places I’ve personally visited) I hope they inspire your own wanderings too. ❤️
