Sagiada, Greece: Tasting the Sea, Savoring the Silence

May 4

A quiet evening in Sagiada: mullet, garlic-rich tzatziki, and the Ionian breeze — the kind of simplicity that feels like luxury.

Sagiada continues to charm. Tonight, I settled into a seaside taverna where the owner of the Fish Taverna Skaloma invited me to choose my fish for dinner. I opted for mullet — a choice that felt a bit daring for me, but it turned out to be divine. The fish was grilled and filleted to perfection, accompanied by the best tzatziki I’ve ever had — rich in garlic, just the way I like it — and a medley of grilled vegetables.

The meal concluded with a creamy vanilla ice cream studded with crispy cookie chunks, a simple yet delightful finish.

Later, I returned to my spot next to the truck, right at the beach’s edge. With a glass of fine Danish rum in hand and one of my favorite cigars, I watched the sun dip below the horizon. The distant silhouette of Corfu added to the serene backdrop. This is the kind of evening that defines paradise.
