“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

Solo Bites
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.

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. ❤️
