Before You Die: Stay at the Taverna Aravanes by Christopher Somerville

Stay at the Taverna Aravanes at Thronos in the Amari Valley, Crete, with Lambros and Maria Papoutsakis, drinking Lambros's wine, eating Maria's stuffed vine leaves, and listening to Kostis and George play the lyra and the louto. If it's a red-letter day, you might even see Maria dance. Christopher Somerville
