☕ Kalimera Mazi Readers
While Mitsotakis and Erdoğan smile for cameras in Ankara, a Greek Air Force officer faces espionage charges behind closed doors in Athens. This week: a former U.S. ambassador says Washington must never sacrifice Greece to appease Turkey, Greece's new man in DC calls the posting the "Holy Grail" and flips the diplomatic script, and Chevron is days away from signing four energy contracts that could reshape the eastern Mediterranean.
Also on deck: a Hard Rock exec becomes a deacon after a quiet moment alone in a Florida pew, a German Metropolitan warns of "wild boars in the field of the Church," and the Greek-American sheriff leading the search for Savannah Guthrie's mother admits the spotlight has him shaken. Plus, Boston's Cretans trace their roots to immigrants who slept in shifts and passed the handkerchief for burial money, a 64-page gothic novella draws from a Greek-American childhood steeped in myth, and two recipes to eat your way through Apokries before Clean Monday shuts the kitchen down.
