-What are you doing there Mr. Lefteris?
-Boubounizo the oven, to throw in the gemistà!

Too many unknown words? 😱
Well “boubounizo” actually means to thunder, to make noise, but also means to turn the heat all the way up!
In this case Mr Lefteris is making a strong fire in the old wood oven for us,so that his lively wife can bake the delicious gemista (peppers and tomatoes stuffed with rice and herbs). The best part of filming food and travel tv shows right?!

Waves driven by north winds shape the greyish-white volcanic rock into amazing shapes, and the area is often compared to a moonscape.
The bone-white beach derives its unusual characteristics from the erosion of the volcanic rock by the wind and waves. Sarakiniko is one of the most photographed landscapes of the Aegean.

New Year’s cake aka VASILOPITA

Vasilopita is a New Year's Day sweet bread or cake in Greece,which contains a hidden coin that offers the best of luck for the new year to the one that finds it in their slice!

The cake is usually cut at the strike of midnight of New Year's Eve.

First, we start by marking across the cake with the knife, three times the sign of the cross.
Then, we proceed with cutting the slices.

Every family has their own recipe for the cake and their own traditions for the order of the slices.

In our family the first slice is for Christ St.Basil (which is the equivalent of Santa Claus in Greece) and for all saints.
The second one is for the family house.
The third one is for the family business.
The fourth one is for the father of the family, the following one for the mother and after that, it is all the rest mebers of the family in descending age order.
Following that, we cut the slices for any guests we have on the day, again in descending age order.

In all cases the main 2 rules are

a) call the receiver of the slice before cutting their slice!
b) make sure you use up all the cake so that you get a coin winner in the end!

The was built in the fifteenth century after the fall of to the Ottomans in 1430. At its location there had been an older tower belonging to Thessaloniki’s Byzantine fortifications, where the eastern wall met the sea wall. The Tower was the eastern end of the sea wall; there was another at the western end, and a third in between.

Over the years, it was referred to by various names: the Lion Tower in the sixteenth century, the Tower of Kalamaria in the eighteenth, while in the nineteenth century we find it with two names, depending on its use: the Tower of the Janissaries when the garrison of Janissaries was stationed there, and the Tower of Blood (Kanle Kule) when it became a prison and place of ex*****on for convicts. In 1880, in his book on the city’s monuments the historian Mihail Xatzi Ioannou called it the Bastille of Thessaloniki, where those condemned to death were slaughtered on its terrace and their blood dyed its walls red, as a cannon shot from the western part of the city signified that the death sentence had been carried out. In 1883, on orders of the Sultan Abdul Hamid II, the Tower was painted white and given the name “White Tower” (Beyaz Kule).
