I found the best food in Greece in Crete, Thessaloniki and east Macedonia. About the wine, whet can I say? Agiorgitico and Moschofilero in Peloponnese, Xinomavrobin west Macedonia, Limnio and Moschato on Lemnos, Asirtico on Santorini, Fociano on Icaria, Rosaki in Kavala and so many I can't recall now.

[@AlexMarkTravel]

Wow! You have great experience traveling all around the Greece. Thanks for sharing. And yes, Crete has some fantastic foods and the other regions you mentioned as well.

Just a little correction. Xinomavro is from Central Macedonia (Naousa and Amintaio mostly). I know because I'm from here.

[@AlexMarkTravel]

Thank you for your comment, probably as it looks like the meat is dancing around the fire. 😀

[@vs1279]

No. Simply "antikristo" means opposite. The dance you mention is danced with one person facing the other. That's exactly how the pieces of lamb are cooked facing each other. Antikristo, that is, opposite.

[@AlexMarkTravel]

@@vs1279 Thanks for the explanation. 🙂

[@DragonlordSVS]

Name is antikristo probably because the meat parts are facing each other or they face they fire front he side. Either would make sense.

[@AlexMarkTravel]

Salad is the star, yes, I also like the beans very much. There are plenty of comments suggesting how it should be done or improved, the meat on BBQ, but in reality the taste matters, once you try it you will know. Which next time I attempt to do! 🙂

"They cut out the thigh-bones, wrapped them round in two layers of fat, and set pieces of raw meat on the top of them. [425] These they burned upon the split logs of firewood, but they spitted the innards, and held them in the flames to cook. " Iliad rhapsody 1

[@bazzaappleton6541]

I live in chania, and tried this restaurant only once. They load the food with salt, and i couldnt eat it. Many others have reported the same, which is such a shame. Less heavy handed on the salt please, guys...

[@toantikristo6463]

Absolutely not, what you see in video is required for best results in making Antikristo, an item that we prepare at rate of 50kg per day this period. A real Fleur de Sel (άνθος αλατιού) does not have the salt quantity low quality granulated salt has, if I threw simple coarse salt in this amount I'd 😂 kill someone. However, that generous amount of the most expensive salt does NOT apply to any other food item we have, only Antikristo and maybe roasted bread that we serve. This kind of salt is full of salt sensation while, due to its foamy molecular structure, contain some 30-50% of the salt technically. Our food beside Antikristo is not too salty at all. WE DO HAVE our problems but those related to a strict policies that we apply, reservation REQUIRED, NO large groups, NO smoking or vaping inside/outside, YES dogs, cats, snakes and monkeys but NO to feed them in premises, OBLIGATORY listening Mikis Theodorakis music but NO music wishes and so on, and so on.. Biggest complains? Smokers! Their food is sour, bitter, chilly and expensive. See? The salt actually might be the slightest trouble.

This has got to be the most inefficient way to cook meat - what a waste of wood.

[@toantikristo6463]

This is contrary to what famous Asado Chefs think when they frequently end up to eat here but you're right (in a way). I could have built huge house with money I spent to wood in years. Open fire makes only 700kw per m3 of hard wood approximately, in my case probably over 1000kw because of glass around, both compared to stove that delivers 2000 to 3000kw depends on wood. But all our mathematics go to the garbage when we eventually face oncologist. Antikristo toxic and carcinogenic backfire to the meat in smoke extraction scenario like this is close to zero. That plays role if and when the final bill comes and we understand that 😂 "wood was actually cheap". It just looks inefficient, nomads are doing it, Eskimos are doing it, Bushmens are doing it, Nordics are roasting fish on a wood plates the same way traditionally..
