"At our first dinner at Milos Athens, the blindingly sleek white-on-white restaurant at Xenodocheio Milos hotel, my partner, Barry, and I contemplate the dramatic iced display of bright-eyed fish from all over Greece. Around us, chatty waitresses snip fresh oregano into bowls of diaphanous olive oil for patrons who seem to be local moguls. Over pristine langoustines from the Halkidiki peninsula, tiny shrimp from the island of Symi, and eel from Amvrakikos Bay—all glowingly fresh, perfectly cooked—Barry and I reflect on how much we’ve missed Athens." - Anya von Bremzen
