I am not sure if many Greeks go to church on Sundays but what they all do is go out for Sunday lunch. When I was based in Athens the road out to Marathon Beach had many restaurants outside of which were hung sheep carcasses on a Sunday to entice Athenians in.
Whilst we were not squeamish or vegetarians it did not seem appetising, hanging meat out in the sun where every fly can settle does not seem to be a good idea. And what happens if no one stops, does the meat get put away until next week? I presume some EU directive regarding dead sheep was issued so you no longer see the carcasses but it is still true that every Greek family meets up in a taverna at 2pm on a Sunday.
Last week we were walking through a village high up in the Pilion whose population is about 50 yet there were several hundred customers sitting down to eat and the roads all around were jam packed with cars. We were hoping to buy a beer but there was no chance as all the tavernas waiters were busy serving food.
Family gatherings for food seem to be exempt from Covid precautions, at the moment this takes place outside, in a few weeks time when everyone moves indoors there could be a sudden rise in the R number, which is probably the A number in Greek, as reproduction is "anaparagogí".
So today, to keep up with the Sunday tradition, we drove over to Sivota via some spectacular mountain roads (picture above) for lunch and very nice it was to. As we are now full we will not go out to dinner this evening but instead eat a cheese pie which for some reason our Russian landlady made for us which we can wash down with some local wine. This is the life.
