A taste of the familiar: Ouzo Plomari

by mariaflora in Uncategorized

Last Tuesday we toasted the release of Vasilis Vrettos’s new photographic coffee table diary, inspired and sponsored by one my favorite summer guilty pleasures, Ouzo Plomari.

The books pays homage to the Greek liquid delicacy’s special birth place, Plomari, as it travels through Eresos’s herb fields and strolls around mr. Arvanitis’s distillery.

There were ouzo cocktails served by hot Athenian mixologists mr. Polatos and mr. Petris (tres yum!) and ouzo nibbles (delish!), a little taste of what’s to come this summer like every other, my father making us ROFL on elementary school jokes, that always work when one gets drunk on ouzo with her mum and dad, me pouring my 3rd Plomari on Fanta (a little high school cocktail that kinda stuck) and a big kick ass mountain of fried calamari and baby squid. Let the Summer begin!

Looking good..

loving that Tranzistor Cafe on Protogenous str.
I guess hanging out on quiet city street pavements, drinking beers, always was my favorite bit of going out in Athens.. Its all that heated concrete, it somehow agrees with me, thats why i never was big on nature.

Just loved this presentation by Digitaria…
Curated by her trusted collaborator HOPE, presented just after dusk last Saturday, it was one not to be missed.
at ATOPOS Contemporary Visual Centre.
