Day 13: Argostoli, Greece

The island of Argostoli is a really interesting area in that it was destroyed twice.  The Germans in WW II bombed the island (for some reason) to almost total destruction.  10 years later, an earthquake took the whole town down.  After reconstruction, the town now looks fairly new.

We decided on our last day in Greece that we wanted to get a better handle on Greek culture.  We walked throughout the town and got a recommendation for the most authentic restaurant in town.  The meal was pure Greek culture: fried cheese, fried vegetables, Greek salad, smoked mackerel, grilled large sardines, Tzatziki (yogurt dip) and mullet which was the one fish caught today.  I don’t think it covered everything Greek, but as we said to the waiter, “If we missed anything, bring it.” The Greek local wine and beer helped..
