In the sleepy Greek fishing village of Telios, life moves at its own pace, somewhere between 'mañana' and 'maybe next month.' But when the village’s beloved taverna is forced to close under a ludicrous new 'Five-Metre Rule,' peace by the sea suddenly becomes a battle for the soul of the community.Peter Barber and his gloriously Greek wife, Alex, came to Telios in search of tranquillity and found everything but. At the heart of their adopted village stood Zorba’s Taverna. A ramshackle haven of gossip, grilled sardines, and arguments that always ended with laughter (and too much tsipouro). When bureaucracy shutters its doors, Alex leads a hilariously improbable mission to reopen it as a cooperative, recruiting an unforgettable cast: Theodora the matriarch, Dimitri the philosopher-fisherman, Maria the gossip oracle, Claude the poetic Frenchman, and one mischievous goat with a sense of entitlement.As the villagers rally, bicker, and bake their way through inspections, storms, and each other, Zorba’s Parthenon becomes a love letter to Greece itself, a place where everything works, just not the way you expect.Blending memoir and comic fiction, Peter Barber’s latest book captures the heart, humour, and humanity of Greek village life: its beauty, its madness, and the impossible charm that keeps you coming back.If it didn’t happen this way, it should have.
