Oia, Santorini: Taverna at the Bottom of the Cliff


Oia is a hilltop town in Santorini, Greece


The trek down to the water may be steep and cumbersome
especially in the evening when there is no light.
Some people ride mules to get down.


There are several tavernas at the bottom, as one can see to the right.


We chose one that had octopus grilling in the glare of the setting sun.

And a view of the sunset cruise.

Gerloczy Cafe & Restaurant, Budapest

Gerloczy is a neighborhood restaurant on Gerloczy street. Prices are unbelievably cheap, it’s hard to imagine how they can afford it. We found Gerloczy in Time Out Budapest Magazine’s list of best Hungarian food. Here are some things we sampled.

Lentil soup with sour cream and fried prosciutto.

Homemade pate.

Fried duck breast over greens.

Whole grilled mackerel for 2,300 Hungarian Forints? That’s about 10 bucks!

Hot mulled wine and double hot chocolate.

Pistachio macaron.
