James Burke was a prolific staff photographer for LIFE magazine, recognized for his extensive documentation of global political and cultural shifts throughout the mid-20th century. In June of 1961 Burke, travelled to and photographed fisherman Theodoris Karantonis and Petros the pelican. Three years earlier, Karantonis had found the wounded bird and nursed it back to health. It remained on the island instead of migrating, and Karantonis and Petros were frequently seen together on the waterfront. The pelican eventually became the official mascot of Mykonos! The current pelican roaming the streets is Petros' direct descendant/progeny.

Athens, Thessaloniki & Santorini included in MICHELIN Guide 2026

Greece continues to strengthen its position on the global gastronomy map with the announcement of the MICHELIN Guide expansion for 2026. For the first time, the Guide will fully evaluate and , alongside an updated selection for , marking a significant milestone for and tourism. This development reflects a broader strategy to highlight regional culinary identities, promote quality and consistency, and position as a destination where food, culture, and place are closely connected.

Athens remains the cornerstone of Greece’s contemporary gastronomy scene. The city combines centuries-old culinary traditions with modern techniques, offering a diverse range of dining options from classic tavernas to refined fine-dining concepts.

Thessaloniki’s inclusion in the MICHELIN Guide highlights a city long known for its rich and layered food culture. Influenced by Balkan, Asia Minor, Mediterranean, and Jewish traditions, its cuisine reflects centuries of cultural exchange. The city’s lively markets, meze-focused dining culture, and modern bistros create a food scene that feels both authentic and accessible.

Santorini brings a very different culinary narrative to the MICHELIN Guide. Its gastronomy is closely tied to the island’s volcanic landscape, with ingredients such as cherry tomatoes, fava beans, capers, and wine playing a central role.

Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of The MICHELIN Guide, comments: “By expanding our selection to Athens, Santorini and Thessaloniki, we reaffirm the remarkable vitality of Greece’s gastronomic landscape. Each of these destinations expresses a unique identity shaped by history, local produce and the creativity of its culinary talent. This upcoming selection will shine a light on a dynamic country where gastronomy continues to inspire, enrich and attract travellers from around the world.”

A Greek island is offering housing and monthly payments to attract new residents. It’s looking for families ready to settle in for the long term. Would you make the move to a place with fewer than 50 people... 🤔

Χρόνια Πολλά to all Georges and Georgias!!

Today we honor Agios Georgios (Saint George), the Great-Martyr and Trophy-Bearer. A soldier of the earthly army who chose to become a soldier for Christ, standing unshakable in his faith against all odds. May his bravery inspire us to face our own 'dragons' with grace and strength. 🛡️☦️

Chronia Polla to everyone celebrating their name day today! May your path be guided by light and courage.(Georgios, Giorgos, Yorgos, Jiorgio, Georgie)Georgia (Georgette, Gina, Tzina, Georgianna)
