I don’t live very close to any convenience stores although before I moved here, there used to be one close by apparently but has since closed up. There is a friendly small convenience store about 5 km away towards Keratea, but they are only open until 6PM, so I thought if I needed anything in

The Wine And Garlic Steamed Mussels are truly to die for! And if you end up at The Port (Το Λιμανι), a “small plates” seafood restaurant in Lavrio, you’ll definitely want to order these tasty mussels. The problem is, there are also so many other yummy things on their menu, you might be tempted to

“I’ve had a few good hamburgers here in Greece, but mostly they have not been that great – the one I enjoyed here was perhaps the best so far in Greece!” We had to make a run to Lavrio for more propane for our Provence gas heater and decided that we’d grab a bite to

In English, ΚΟΚΟΦΟΙΝΙΚΑΣ means “Coconut Palm Tree” – but I don’t think you will find too many of these at ΚΟΚΟΦΟΙΝΙΚΑΣ, between Lavrio and Keratea. Instead, you will find fantastic service and a great selection with valuable local knowledge at this garden centre I’m so happy to have discovered. When I moved to the Keratea/Lavrio

Back in about January, I purchased a used Volkswagon Tiguan. Purchasing a car in Greece can be a bit of a chore which I may write about later. Compared to prices of similar vehicles in Athens, I think I got a fair deal, but compared to used car prices back in Canada, – wow…. the

Over the years, I’ve not been happy with various postal and courier services, including Canada Post, Purolator, and others – and these days, the Greek ELTA has proven they need a huge overhaul both in customer service and mail/package delivery efficiency.
