Seabream grilled with coated fried courgettes

One of the last meals on my trip through 3 different countries was at a seaside Tavern 30 minutes off the mountains of Olymp.

We walked a path through the Enipeas Canyon to the famous waterfall at Mount Olymp. This is near the City of Litochero. Sorry to say, in September there is not enough water to create any waterfall. Walking the 1,1 km path each way was just a nice Cardio Workout.


After that we all were hungry, because breakfast in the last Hotel was a bit simple. Our tour guide made the reservation at Niko´s Taverne somewhere at the sea. Most of us ordered the offered menu of salad, seabream with courgette and French fries and a little ice cream for dessert. At 15€ it was a great price.


The holiday is coming to an end and neither in Albania, North Mazedonia nor Northern Greece hotel food was something to rave about. Large tour groups get Cafeteria food of medium quality at the hotels. Breakfast in all 3 countries was not a highlight either. The Nescafe powder served as coffee often with lukewarm water is chewable, but seldom drinkable.

Outside of hotels, the food in small restaurants was very good and with decent veriaties. But tomatoes and cucumber and feta are not to be seen on my plates for a very long time. They were served from breakfast, lunch to dinner. I thought sometimes that nothing else was growing in these 3 countries.
I had so often Tzatziki without garlic here. Is garlic no longer used here?
