Tonight we went to the village of Mohos where Eva’s family is from. It is about 9KM up from where she currently lives. They are currently renovating the house her grandparents lived in. Eva’s parents will move in.
The village is a picture perfect Greek village. There are cobblestone streets, boys playing on their bikes, men sitting out front watching everyone go by. We walk towards the village centre and stop at a pub for a drink of Raki (Greek version of moonshine). Ugh I don’t manage but Carla finishes hers.
We continue down the road and sit at an outdoor restaurant in the village centre. We are surrounded by shops and restaurants and a church. It is so beautiful it looks staged. We are told that a movie was filmed here recently. I hope to find that movie and watch it sometime. I wonder how much of the village they will use.
We had the best authentic greek food. We opted for a variety of appetizers. We were not disappointed. Everything was made with fresh ingredients. We’ll need to do a lot more walking!
