The Greek Experience

This will be a long weekend of celebration and tribute to a culture that has contributed so

much to the world and how we live today, through language, art, architecture cuisine and

so on.

As we know, as a culture the Greeks are extremely family orientated, everything

revolves around the family, but also, the Greeks with their own unique form of hospitality

welcomes everyone with open arms.

Come and enjoy the hospitality of the GREEKS
