Modern Ayurvedic Eats VOL 3 • 2021
This is my first time visiting Greece! I visited Athens and Santorini. I am so inspired by the simplicity and seasonality of Greek Food. Follow along for my trip to Athens and Santorini.
One of my favorite memories in Athens was taking a food tour with Julia through Airbnb Experience. Not only did she grow up in Athens her daughter is also a vegan chef! I fall in love with her right away! If you have never been to Athens before, you must take her tour!
One of my favorite things to do during my travels is to take local cooking classes. I learned how to make traditional Greek food at Athens’ Cooking Kitchen School. It gave me a lot of inspiration for my recipes.
I spent an afternoon walking to the Acropolis – the most complete archaeological site in Greece. I often picture the life that people had back in ancient times. Knowing that so many years ago people built this monument by hand gives me a perspective on how easy and luxurious our lives have been in this modern age. I felt tremendous respect for the Greek civilization and how they were able to create this architectural and artistic complex structure for the world to see.
Santorini
Santorini is like living in a dream. I can’t believe my eyes when I arrived on this beautiful island. I hiked to Oia with family and friends with a little help from a donkey. The whole hike from Fira to Oia is about 6 miles but it was worth it!
Photo Shoot
I am a lucky girl! My good friend Carrie was also visiting Greece during the time I was there. We met up in Santorini. She snapped some amazing photos of me in Oia. If you are looking for a talented photographer, contact her! She loves to travel and adventure like me.
Our last day’s dinner in Santorini is one of the most unforgettable experiences of the trip. We went to Avantis Anhydrous Winery and I had a chance to taste local Santorini wine and some creative Santorini cuisine! It was like eating a piece of art. It really enforces my belief that digestion starts with the eyes. If food looks beautiful you will have a pleasant eating experience.
