World’s Most Expensive Hotel Room is in Greece

38,000 euros a night. Not just a "room" - a three bedroom villa with two pools and lots more. But I'd much prefer to stay in one of my favourite "hideaways".

Sea's humble relations are not to be frowned upon

Read about fish soup.
Two things come to mind.
A small taverna in Sikinos that had fish soup / stew on the menu. But the only fish left was fish heads. A tasty dish, but not that pleasant to look at.
In Greece the soup is often served in a bowl, and the fish and vegetables on a plate - so you get both a starter and a main course. I hadn't realised that the soup would be served in this way, and ordered both fish soup and another main course. The people in the taverna thought I was very hungry! Now I always ask, when ordering fish soup, if it is just a small bowl of soup, or a bowl of soup and a plate full of fish and vegetables.
