No, that’s now how it’s spelled. I can’t even begin to spell it correctly. That’s how it sounds to me, effcareeSTO.
I’m on Mykonos Island with one of my daughters. We spent a couple of days in Athens and then headed here. All of Greece has been celebrating Easter, culuminating in Easter Sunday on, well, Sunday. What that means is all of the sites were closed. And the streets were littered with people roasting lamb. Quite a site and aroma!
I find the Greeks to be so very friendly and gracious. So many people we’ve encountered speak English. It makes it really easy. I’ve had to ask about a bajillion times how to say “thank you” in Greek. I think I have it. “EffcareeSTO.”
I love reading your posts about Greece! I only remember how to say evharisto, parakalo, and “thelo eina cafeina megala” (again with the bad spelling but it means “I’d like coffee with milk”.
