We ate at a lot of tavernas (old style/family-run eateries), and it was no different in the north of Greece. The decor though wasn’t white-washed at all, but something even more rustic.

What was offered is quite similar to that down south, but with a cold weather twist. There of course lots of vegetables, some boiled…

Others grilled.

The grilled eggplant with feta was especially good – smoky and pungent. Greek food at its simple best.
