		Pilion, in Makrinitsa village and the food our hosts -Kostas and Elena- prepared for us was delicious.
		I don’t know the reason to that, except maybe that people don’t like to experiment, and that they are content with a good old steak.
		Another thing that bothers me in Greek villages is the lack of homemade, lovely, savoury pies (not in Makrinitsa though, because we had a very nice leek pie in Theofilos café).
