Salt | The Secret Greek Ingredient

Photo by AndreasPinch of salt, dash of sunset salty sea air is the secret ingredient in traditional Greek dishes like grilled octopus and stuffed grape leaves served on this beach. And sea breezes are easy to come by because the restaurants that line Skala Eressou on the southwest coast of the Greek isle of L�svos don?t just face the beach ? they are on top of it. To sample the oceanfront views,travel first to Athens, where you can catch one of several daily flights aboard Aegean or Olympic Airlines to L�svos? Mytilene International Airport. Follow the highway through the eastern part of the island ? past the beach town of Kalon� and through the rolling green hills in Par�kila. When you find yourself in the village of Eress�s, turn toward the sea and walk to Skala Eressou. Browse menus from the beach or the pedestrian-friendly main street for specialties like Taverna you Sarantou's gouna (dried, spiced and grilled mackerel) or Adonis' boureki (a deep-fried, pizza-like-dish). Between the fresh-from-the-sea flavors and the unit erupted sunset views, you'll be shouting "Opa!" in no time.
