Tip of the day; don’t drink too much Raki

 

Raki (pronounced Rocky) is to Crete what Tequila is to Mexico.  It’s made with grape pomace & anise.  You will not be in Crete long before being offered Raki.  The Cretans drink it when greeting friends, when friends are leaving, before dinner, after dinner, on good days, on bad days and any other day… you get the idea.  It is considered rude to not offer someone Raki that is visiting your home.  We learned the key to drinking Raki is moderation.
