“ Yia Sou Dionysis, thank you for posting a greeting. I may have misunderstood some of the questions. I am actually excited to meet other Greek folks to chat and converse in Greek, as I speak Greek fluently. And, yes I have been to a few Greek festivals. I am about an hour from Boston, but that would not keep me from attending the groups events. I go to Greece every couple of years. My family is from the island of Rhodes. Is anyone in the group from Rhodes ? .... Again thank you, keep me posted. ”
“ Thanks for such a warm greeting, Dionysis! I found this group by chance when I was checking out the listing of local MeetUp events. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and learning more about all things Greek in and around the area. ”
“ Hi Dionysis,
Thanks! I've never been to any of the festivals...use
d to travel a lot with my old job.
I'm planning on coming..I have people coming in Sat night from Germany and I know they love Greek food...:)
I look forward to meeting you!
Pam ”
“ Hey Dionisi, any time! We had good time! ”
“ I was planning to attend the Cambridge Festival after my dance rehearsal at the Lykeion which is exactly a block from the church. There is also a decently priced parking garage (I usually pay $2-$3 when I come for the 2hour dance rehearsal) a block from the church (Green Street) for those coming with a car. There is also a bus stop and T-location (don't know though what area they serve) a block away from the festival. Just wanted to let you know. :) ”
“ Thank you for the welcome!!! wonderful to finally start meeting some fellow Greeks. i will be sending you some info concerning greek dancing to your email. :) sophia ”
“ Hi Dionysi, Thanks for the welcome note. I left Katerini for the states when I was eight, but lived back in Athens from 95-2000. I actually grew up in West Roxbury. Won't be able to make it tonight, but looking forward to the next meeting. ”
“ Hi, I am looking forward to meeting more people from this group. I have been to Greece a few times. It's one of my favorite places in the world. In case anyone lives close to Worester, St. Spyradon is having this bi-annual festival on June 6th and 7th. I will be volunteering at it... ”
“ I am so glad you formed this group.....
it makes me so happy to share the love and memories of Greece...
i was thinking of the small hotel on the black beach on Santorini just today....and hearing the waves as I slept, waking to the amazing sunrise and swimming and then fresh calamari... ”
“ Thanks for the shout......
I find the swimming is different in every part of Greece.
I am not from there, but it is very beautiful in Zakynthos...
I stayed at an old olive grove plantation on the hillside...
and tasted an olive just plucked from the trees.....
mmm. I like the idea of the Greek potluck....I love Greek food. ”
“ Hi Dionysis, I am interested in attending some of the Greek Festivals this summer with a group like this. I also enjoy greek dancing but have only had a chance to do this a few times at a few friend's weddings. I would also like to get some authentic greek recipes to add to my collection. How about considering having a pot luck dinner and recipe swap night ...one where each person would come come with Greek food for 4-6 people so everyone try and/or take some home to freeze for later . ”
“ Thanks Dionysis, and thanks for forming the group!

I love designing Greek costumes ”
“ I have been to Athens and the surrounding countryside, Thessaloniki, Corfu, Mykonos, Siros, Tinos and Santorini... They all offer a very different Greek experience. I love the beaches, bars and restaurants of Mykonos. There is a great spot called Porta where they do a lot of Greek dancing in the wee hours of the morning. A lot of fun! ”
“ Pictures have been posted. Have an awesome evening! ”
“ I just noticed that your family is from Kefalonia, that is where my best friend is from, I was there a few years ago, too funny ”
