Being far far away I treated myself with an iced coffee: Bodrum Turkey style!

The beach on Kos is an interesting tourist attraction: you can hire a chair as those on the right and get skin cancer thanks to the high dose of sun rays that are creeping through an ever diminishing ozone layer.
But don’t let your appetite for the unspoiled Kos beach water stop you… According to a very . . . → Read More: Beach on Kos

Did you know that hibiscus flowers are edible flowers? That’s what the self proclaimed cookingdiva told me today when I had a drink in her little tavern with a view over the Aegean Sea.

I got a call from Greece that they need some helping hand in the kitchen there… That’s good that they only need 1 hand, as my other hand has that not so useful arthritis finger…
So it’s back to Kos pretty soon. For those who don’t know Kos: it’s a little island in the Aegean sea in . . . → Read More: Back to Kos Greece

Lunchtime is just finished here in Kos, Greece so time to relax with a well deserved
cup of coffee. (says who? Says … me! )
Although these Turkish coffee cups are quite tiny, I suppose I am still having a bigger coffee intake than when I drink normal coffee in normal cups. Anyway, it beats the . . . → Read More: Coffee break in Kos

Condolences to my Greek Cook in the streets
What I was missing this year compared to the last time I was in Kos, was the old lady sitting in the street where I went for a little stroll each and every evening. Seems the old yet generous lady is no more, so this post is in honour . . . → Read More: Turkish delight recipe

What I love when on holidays is discovering things off the beaten track.
In Kos, being a Greek Island therefore filled with old Greek cultural remnants, the first thing you notice is abandoned archeological sites.

Being an island, of course you can expect Kos to cater a lot of beaches for tourists.
