Zorba’s Parthenon: A Taverna by the Sea

Zorba’s Parthenon: A Taverna by the Sea

Author(s): Peter Barber

Location(s): Greece

Genre(s): Autobiography/Memoirs, Fiction

Era(s): modern day

Part memoir, part comic fiction, Zorba’s Parthenon is a sunlit story of food, friendship, and the joyful unruliness of Greek island life

In the sleepy fishing village of Telios, the wine flows freely, the gossip flows faster, and there’s usually an opinionated goat on the patio. But when Peter’s favourite taverna is shut down by Greek bureaucracy, Telios loses its heart and soul.
Led by the fiery and pragmatic Alex, the villagers pull together to bring Zorba’s Taverna back to life. None of them have the faintest clue how to run a restaurant, but what can’t be fixed with a splash of ouzo and a few strings of fairy lights?
