The best post: Santorini & Grecian Food

The food in Greece and Santorini is to DIE for!
I am not a lover of tomatoes, at all! But the tomatoes in Santorini are from another world. We've concluded that they are so amazing because of the climate they have to adapt to! The tomatoes grow 'out' instead of up! Santorini is considered a tropical desert, so the plants must adapt!

Here are some of our plates from our trip!

Our two most favorite things: Tatziki and Santorini Tomatoes

What are some traditional foods you've tried while traveling?
Anything that you miss every day?
Because we are missing these tomatoes!
