The Santorini Effect

I recently travelled around the Greek Islands, starting in Athens our trip took us to Mykonos, Rhodes and Santorini.

We enjoyed the traditional cuisine, especially some authentic Greek salad, also known as Horiatiki. It's a feature on every menu, in the spirit of things, I enjoyed it most days.

It’s a simple dish with roughly chopped cucumber and tomatoes, olives, thinly sliced red onion and of course, Feta cheese dressed with quality olive oil.

On the way to Santorini, the price varied from €6-€9. All were good, some better than others

.. until we sat on a restaurant terrace in Santorini overlooking it's sunken volcano.

On the edge of this Volcano, a Horiatiki cost €17. It was very nice, fresh and zesty..

..but there was nothing in the salad that justified this doubled price.

Of course, the price differential wasn’t for the salad!

..it was the cost of eating the salad while enjoying the view..
