Greece and Especially Crete

 

I've been to Greece several times both before and since diagnosis. I've not really had a problem as although the average waiter isn't as knowledgeable as say they are in Egypt, the food is pretty safe. I've always liked things like souvlaki, which are fine as basically they are meat, onions and peppers on a skewer. Crete also has quite a bit of fish.

Don't forget the celiactravel cards as they usually work. But most restaurants speak pretty good English.

Whatever you do in Creete, go to the folk museum in Heraklion. You'll understand why Cretans are so different to the Greeks and why they aren't that keen on the Germans.
