Great local fish and wine

A quick stop for lunch on the water near Sitia, Crete.  Nice breeze of the water made it very comfortable in the shade.  Not sure of the species of fish, but it was delicious and cooked perfectly.  The wine was good, not too dry or sweet, had a little of that green apple after taste.

 

Ellie Tasting "fresh" Cretan wine!

Stopped on our way back from Elofonisi.  A nice woman had us down to taste a couple versions of her wine then she filled a couple water bottles with wine from the vat and off we went.  6 euros per liter!

Ririka's Pastitsio

Was the best I have had!  Nicely blended mix of flavors with the top layer nicely browned and not heavy.
