Saturday 20th September 2025 – Paralia Glyfa, Greece

After a fairly hectic time in Italy, we had decided that our visit to the Peloponnese would be a relaxed one. So, for the next few days, we won’t be doing much. We will however be using the excellent restaurant.
By using Bluetooth tethering, we were able to use my tablet to watch the Women’s Rugby World Cup semi-finals with England winning at excellent match against France. With Canada beating New Zealand, we are looking forward to the England v Canada final next weekend.
Tonight I had one of my favourite dishes, kouneli stifado, rabbit cooked in a tomato sauce with small onions. In 2022 I spent some time with Roula, the chef, who showed me how she made beef stifado and this was equally delicious. The menu is extensive and, as there is no printed menu (it changes from day to day), the waiter reads it to you. It is so long that I have normally forgotten the first options by the time he gets to the end. I do remember that there were three stifado options – rabbit, beef and the rarely seen, octopus.
