About a mile on, where the beach runs out, the Greeks gather in a taverna to guzzle spit-roasted pork washed down with local beer. |
A string of restaurants ranging from fine dining through to a Greek taverna and a pizza terrace dot the seafront, with its classical views out to the island of Zakynthos. |
The loft above the taverna containing one habitable room was used for the lodging of the storekeeper, the caretakers or the workshop employees. |
In Greece, men tend to spend their leisure time in the taverna with other men, so it is not at all clear how much actual exposure took place. |
Take a slow stroll along the beach or sip on ouzo with the locals in the village taverna. |
On a recent visit, sitting in a taverna, sipping ouzo, and discussing politics, I brought up the subject. |
