Hytra was a Michelin ⭐, and yes, the execution was spectacular. With that said, that was more about the experience. The food, the wine, the company. We were building memories and friendships. The majority of other other meals is as local as it gets. Massive portions, seaside dining, popular squares. Hell, if I found a dude grilling on the street I'd post up, drop some euros and get into it.
The island fire looks the worst so far that I've seen. They evacuated one of them, it's scary shit. Very analogous to California which has been on fire for a few years now.
As for drinking culture, apparently we have to visit Crete for that 😁.
