Kalasouna, originating from Folegandros, is not your average cheese pie. It’s a testament to the island’s rich agricultural heritage and its residents’ creativity in the kitchen.
Unlike the more widespread versions found across Greece, Folegandros’ kalasouna is distinguished by its filling—a hearty and flavorful blend of local cheeses, onions, and a medley of herbs unique to the island’s terroir. The herbs, which might include thyme, oregano, and mint, are not just flavoring agents but a connection to the island’s wild, aromatic landscapes.
With its consistent winds and sun-baked islands, Greece is arguably the best place in Europe to go sailing. Spend your days cruising between rocky coves with impossibly clear water and tucking into olive oil-doused mezze at one of the many waterside tavernas. Here are the top postcard-perfect places to go sailing around Greece and its islands.
