"Sounds Greek to me" by Rachel Howard

Εικόνα
Think of Greek food and caper croquettes, artichoke frittata, and snail risotto probably don't spring to mind. But Tinos - where these dishes are standard fare - is not like other Greek islands. Perhaps the food is so good because 90% of visitors are Greeks; the Athenian architects and actors who retreat to their villas in Tinos at weekends won't settle for microwaved moussaka. Most Cycladic islands are too barren for agriculture, but it was obvious that Tinos has a wealth of local produce as soon as we stepped on to the quayside, where farmers were selling marinated caper leaves and necklaces of sun-dried tomatoes from their pick-up trucks. Only two hours by high-speed ferry from Athens and a 15-minute ride from Mykonos, Tinos has been saved from mass development by the Panagia Evangelistria monastery, one of the holiest sites in Greece. The Greek Orthodox church owns huge swathes of land on the island and has prohibited all but a handful of bars. We dutifully trudged up the h...

"Sale of Onassis greek island in doubt"

Εικόνα
The sale of an idyllic Greek island owned for decades by the Onassis family has been thrown into doubt amid concerns that it contravenes the wishes of the late shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis. Skorpios, a forested island surrounded by the crystal clear waters of the Ionian Sea, was sold last month by the magnate's granddaughter, 28-year-old Athina Onassis Roussel, to a Russian oligarch, Dmitry Rybolovlev, for a reported $100 million (£66 million). Mr Rybolovlev, 47, the multi-billionaire owner of the AS Monaco Football Club and co-founder of Uralkali, a Russian potash producer, bought it as an extravagant gift for his 24-year-old socialite daughter, Ekaterina. But the deal is now in question amid claims that Onassis, who is buried on the island, stipulated in his will that it should remain in his family's hands as long as they could afford to maintain it. Failing that, the island was to be bequeathed either to the nation, to be used as a holiday retreat by the head of state, ...
