A film that influenced my approach to travel ever after. "Why must there always be a why?" #film #zorba

unlabelledView post →Yeah, that's exactly my point, not a thing in Greece 😄 In North American Greek restaurants they have this little show/ceremony thing where during serving a plate of saghanaki they light it on fire (flambé-style) and shout "Opa!". It's meant to look like a traditional Greek thing (no doubt influenced by movies like Zorba the Greek, that movie is responsible for so many cultural inaccuracies).
