In this episode: 

A light and lovely conversation about the contributions of geology and geography of Greece.  How do these natural forces influence the Mediterranean diet? 

What are the top 3 beloved foods of Greece, and what makes them so?   Cooking is an art form, and Dimitris describes the tastiest way to achieve a masterpiece. 

A glance at Crete, the fifth largest island in Greece, leads to water, the people and Dakos.  Learn all about it in this episode.

We thank Dimitris for sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm for the natural beauty of Greece, which enhances and nourishes the lives of people on a global level. 

Thus, it is truly heartbreaking to note, that recently, much of the country is now under the siege of destructive and devasting wildfires.  According to the BBC, Greece and Turkey have been battling devastating blazes for nearly two weeks as the region suffers its worst heatwave in decades. 

Evia, a large island to the north and east of Athens, is struggling with two fire fronts which have destroyed thousands of hectares of land, with numerous houses and businesses.  

Naturalist and anthropologist experts say that this heavenly seaside village of Evia is considered the whole of Greece in one island.  A unique world, full of natural surroundings, rich vegetation, clear blue waters, therapeutic springs, and cultural heritage.  This extraordinary wellness place needs our help. 

There are many organizations and social media sites that are supporting fundraising efforts for the misplaced people of Greece.  Check out this wonderful shopping donation option to offer aid.

Prayers, courage and strength to our friends all over Europe who are in this tumultuous climate disaster.
