223: Kiki on Location: Nemea, My Mother’s Homeland

Kiki Vale takes Kefi Life on location to Greece where it all began in Nemea.  A stop at Nemea’s oldest restaurant SOFOS is today topic.

Today's Lexi:

Αρχαία – Archaia – Ancient

In Today’s Episode:

“Eu Zyn” is a greeting that was introduced to me last July by host and SOFOS restaurant owner, Eirini Koroka. While rebranding Kefi Life, this phrase carried a powerful meaning—one that is best understood through experience rather than simply reading the words on a page.

Like many Greek expressions, its meaning goes beyond a direct translation. The first two letters, Eu (Εὖ), appear at the beginning of Eu Zyn and in many other Greek words, conveying the idea of goodness, wellness, and living well. These two simple letters set the tone for a life of purpose and positivity.

With that spirit in mind, let us continue our journey to Nemea, in the region of Corinth, Greece—a land steeped in history and mythology. Known as one of the four great Panhellenic sanctuaries, Nemea is also celebrated for its exceptional wine and as the birthplace of my beloved Manoula (mother), Katina.

Hear all about what makes the food of Nemea so delicious, and learn what is the key to preparing a memorable meal. Erini Koroka, owner and chef of SOFOS is full of delightful shares.
