I can tell you the exact moment I fell in love with Greece. On the eve of my 10th birthday, I was sitting opposite my little brother in the restaurant of a family-run hotel in Crete. As Mum erred between the moussaka and stifado, the patriarch of the Cretan family who owned the hotel gave us kids a cheeky smile, gleefully ruffling our hair to make us giggle.
This simple yet playful gesture made me feel instantly at home – a feeling I experience every time I go to Crete, even as a grown-up.
