We arrived today in Tinos, Greece—an island in the Cyclades, and a quieter cousin to the buzzing Mykonos and Santorini.
It’s been 8 years since Maru and I visited Greece, and all the good memories have come flooding back: the iconic blue and white Cycladic architecture, the winding roads that surprise with horizon after horizon, and the addictive Mediterranean cuisine of the local tavernas.
One thing I love about Greek culture is seeing families, friends, and couples dining together—either in their yards or at restaurants. They take their time; talking, laughing, eating, and drinking for hours on end. Much longer than what’s common in New Zealand or the UK. It’s a way of life that I admire and want to learn from.
Here’s to taking it slow and soaking it all in.
