As you’ve probably noticed, I’ve been pretty quite around here over the past few weeks.
I sure hope you’ve enjoyed all the amazing guest posters who agreed to help me out while I took a little time away from the blog to spend with the family. I can’t wait to try out the delicious recipes they shared!
If curiosity has gotten the best of you, then you’ll surely enjoy this week. Since I couldn’t bring all of you along for the fun ride, I thought I’d share what I was up to while away.
My husband had the opportunity to attend a conference for work in Crete. When I first heard mention of the possibility many months back, I made one thing clear: He would not be going alone!
A six and three and a half year old wouldn’t have survived the sprint through JFK to a connecting flight with carry-ons in tow, a 5 hour layover in Athens, a total of 3 connections, or the nearly 24 hours it took us to get to our final destination.
I’m not sure I “survived” it, but it was worth it!
![gorgeouswatersincrete-beachwalk crystal clear water in crete](https://www.goodlifeeats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/gorgeouswatersincrete-beachwalk.jpg 384w, https://www.goodlifeeats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/gorgeouswatersincrete-beachwalk-40x60.jpg 40w, https://www.goodlifeeats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/gorgeouswatersincrete-beachwalk-200x300.jpg 200w)
Unfortunately, we didn’t have a whole lot of time to explore the island of Crete. My husband was in conference most of the time, but I did have lots of down time to explore the beach and read by the ocean.
The views near where we stayed were stunning! Though I hear the southern beaches of Crete are even more incredible (and less touristy).
Our evenings epitomized the phrase “long walks on the beach.” I don’t know where everyone went after dinner, but the place was deserted in the evenings.
We were easily the only ones on the beach at sunset. It was such a nice relaxing break.
One interesting tidbit – Heraklion is filled with Russians on vacation. Everywhere we went, especially on the resort property, we heard Russian. And there were fur shops everywhere!
![sunsetincretebeach long walks on the beach in crete](https://www.goodlifeeats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/sunsetincretebeach.jpg 525w, https://www.goodlifeeats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/sunsetincretebeach-90x60.jpg 90w, https://www.goodlifeeats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/sunsetincretebeach-300x200.jpg 300w)
Most everyone also spoke English. I hardly had any need for Greek while visiting beyond the courtesy of saying “good morning” and “thank you.”
I took hundreds of photos on the trip and I’m still going through all of them. If you’d like to see more of them, check out my Greece Photo Collection on Flickr.
Enjoying Tzatziki Sauce in Greece
Feta, Yogurt, Tzatziki, Greek Salad and…Oranges. I didn’t realize that oranges were particularly special in Greece, but I frequently saw oranges trees in the area.
Every morning I enjoyed a large bowl of deliciously thick authentic Greek Yogurt flavored only with honey. It was so thick and pure.
The oranges in Crete were some of the sweetest and juiciest I’ve tasted, so I piled slices of them on top of my yogurt.
I’ve always loved Greek Salad and I’m pretty sure I ate it at every lunch and dinner, but one of the recipes I was most looking forward to trying at home was Tzatziki.
I love this cucumber yogurt dip and I can’t believe I’ve never made it before! Tzatziki is great as an appetizer with toasted pita wedges and vegetables for dipping.

What is Tzatziki Sauce?
Tzatziki is a yogurt and cucumber based sauce that is prevalent throughout Southeast Europe and the Middle East.
In Greece, tzatziki sauce is typically served as a meze (a collection of small plate appetizers; essentially the Greek version of tapas).
It is made using strained yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, salt, olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh herbs (typically dill, mint, parsley, or even a combination).
How is Tzatziki Pronounced?
The hardest thing about tzatziki is learning how to pronounce it. The good news is, you’re definitely not the first person to ask this question! Tzatziki is pronounced “tsah-see-key.”
Tools to Make Homemade Tzatziki
You’ll need a few kitchen tools to prepare this cucumber and Greek yogurt sauce. Here’s what I recommend having on hand before getting started:
- Measuring Cups and Spoons – to measure the ingredients.
- Vegetable Peeler – to peel the cucumber.
- Box Grater – to grate the fresh cucumber.
- Fine Mesh Sieve – to strain excess liquid from the grated cucumber.
- Citrus Juicer – to juice the fresh lemon.
- Large Bowl – to make the creamy sauce in.
- Wooden Spoon or Silicone Spatula – to mix the sauce.

Tips for Making the Best Tzatziki Recipe
- For best results, use thick Greek yogurt. I recommend purchasing full fat Greek yogurt as it is typically thickest.
- You also want to make sure you’re using plain Greek yogurt.
- Squeeze as much liquid from the grated cucumber as possible so the sauce isn’t watery.
- Use fresh herbs, not dried. The flavor will taste so much fresher!
- Chop fresh garlic cloves instead of using jarred minced garlic. It tastes better!
- Lemon juice from fresh lemons also has a better taste than bottled, so squeeze lemon juice from fresh lemons.
- Refrigerate the tzatziki for 1 – 2 hours before serving to enhance the flavor.

Tzatziki Sauce Recipe FAQs
Got questions about how to make this delicious sauce? Here are the answers to a few commonly asked questions. Feel free to leave any other questions in the comments on this post and I’ll respond with answers.
Do I Have to Use Greek Yogurt?
No, I suppose you could use plain regular yogurt, however Greek yogurt tastes so much better because it is thicker.
If you don’t have Greek yogurt, or if your Greek yogurt isn’t very thick, Line a colander with a double layer of cheesecloth. Then place it over a bowl and strain the yogurt overnight.

I love the beach at night, it’s such a relaxing place to be. I’ve always wanted to visit Greece, it looks like such a beautiful place. Glad that you both had a great time.
Amanda N - Wine and a Spoon says
Good grief, that is gorgeous. Especially the water! I’ve made tzatziki before, but never with dill. I’ll have to try that. I LOVE me some Greek food.
Teresa says
Would you mind sharing your recipe? I am not a fan of dill and would love to make tzatziki.
Amanda N - Wine and a Spoon says
Absolutely! Actually, the one I do was part of Rachael Ray’s My Big Fat Greek Burger, which is to die for. Here’s the tzatziki part:
One 2-inch length of cucumber–peeled, trimmed and coarsely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 cup plain yogurt, preferably Greek
1 tsp dried oregano
Juice of 1/2 of a lemon
salt
Place the chopped cucumber in a food processor with the crushed garlic, yogurt, the oregano and the lemon juice. Add a little salt and process until smooth.
Deborah says
What an awesome trip!! Greece is definitely on my bucket list!
Teresa says
Thanks for sharing! Is there anything I could substitute for dill? I absolutely cannot tolerate dill, but this sounds great to serve with fresh vegetables. Thanks!
Maria Malaveci says
Yes, you must definitely visit Santorini! My absolute favorite island!! Just beautiful

Louisa says
Ahh Greece, my home away from home. I’ve never been to Crete (we go to an island on the other side of Greece) but I’ve heard it truly is beautiful, albeit infested with tourists. Glad you had a nice time, in my opinion there isn’t anything better than authentic Greek food!
Jen @ My Kitchen Addiction says

What an awesome opportunity! Sounds like you had a fabulous trip.
Amber | Bluebonnets & Brownies says
Katie, Santorini is on my life list of places I *have* to visit, and now I think Crete is too. I can’t wait to see what you have in store the rest of the week.
Katie says
One of Eric’s friends at the conference went to Santorini after the conference was over. I bet it was amazing! Since we had to fly home through Athens we spent a couple of days there on the way back, but I would have loved to go to Santorini.
Molly at Duchess of Fork says
I visited Santorini on my honeymoon and it was gorgeous. To be honest, though, there isn’t much to do. I HIGHLY recommend Mykonos. We loved it!
Suzanna says
What a great opportunity for you two!! how was the political atmosphere? Did you feel safe while you were there?
Katie says
Fortunately we left before all the riots started so we didn’t have to deal with any of that. I felt completely safe!
