Eleni Stergiou – The Embodiment of Hospitality Many say that the good old-fashioned, genuine, unadulterated, and sincere hospitality can now only be found in remote mountain villages of Greece, such as Karitsa Dolopon.
Karitsa Dolopon, a village in the Municipality of Lake Plastiras, is nestled in the eastern Agrafa mountains at an altitude of 1180 meters. There, you'll encounter Mrs. Eleni Stergiou, the very embodiment of such hospitality! Image She might spot you wandering through her village in the dead of winter and insist, in a gentle and never overbearing manner, on offering you something for the road and the cold. She will open her tavern, "Dolopes," even though it's closed because the village has been without electricity for three days due to bad weather, and brew you a strong, double Greek coffee in a briki (traditional coffee pot) by the light of her mobile phone. And to fortify you, she'll treat you to a "generous" piece of incredibly delicious plasto (a characteristic pie of Thessaly and beyond) that will have you licking your fingers, because, among other things, she is also an exceptional cook! If there were an "Xenios Zeus" award for hospitality, she would win it with effortless ease! Image Related Tags PLASTIRAS LAKE - As If It Had Always Been There,
