Sitting beside San Francisco¡¯s Consul General of Greece, Ioannis Andreadis, at dinner was more like sitting down with family ¨C albeit, a family I¡¯d just met.

With his wife, Demetra and son ¡°Harry¡±, Mr Andreadis shared a taste of Greece with local San Franciscans and out of town celebrities at award-winning Greek Restaurant, Kokkari, last weekend.

Over delicious Greek treats (that finished in the mouth-watering galaktobourek), diners swapped tales of Greek vacations, travel tips and found out why now is the time to get to Greece.
