Heart Picks

Heart Picks: Deniz’s own recommendations

Personal picks from Deniz, who runs Heart Greece. He writes these himself, one at a time, about places and things he actually likes. They are not rankings and nobody pays for them.

Deniz’s picks for Greece

Food · Epirus

Dodoni feta

Personal pick: Deniz’s pick: Dodoni, an Epirus (Ioannina) dairy brand, for tinned or barrel aged feta.

This is a personal preference, not a ranking, and not a paid placement. First published in our dictionary entry for feta, with a recipe for baked feta.

More picks on the way

Deniz is writing more picks for Greece: islands, tavernas, ferries and places to stay. They will appear here, each marked as his.

Deniz’s picks on our sister sites

  • Heart Athens, Favourites: his personal picks in the city, including Vaggelis & Alekos and To Trikyklo in Neos Kosmos and To Mikraki in Psirri. See them on Heart Athens.
  • Heart Corfu, Where to Stay: his pick of a place to stay in Ipsos. See it on Heart Corfu.

How Heart Picks work

  • Only Deniz writes a pick marked as his. Nobody else can add one in his name.
  • Editor notes elsewhere on the site are labelled as editor notes. The venue lists in Venues across Greece are compiled from published guides, not from Deniz’s picks.
  • A pick is never paid for. If a business ever pays for a placement, it is labelled as sponsored and kept apart from Heart Picks.

How we check reviews. Reviews on Heart Greece are written by readers: for now they reach us by email, and once accounts open they will be written by registered users. We do not check whether a reviewer actually visited or bought from the place, so reviews are not verified as coming from customers. Before publishing, we check every review for spam, links, personal data and breaches of our rules, and we remove reviews we find to be fake or paid for. Businesses cannot pay to remove or reorder reviews. Reviews are shown newest first.

Πώς ελέγχουμε τις κριτικές. Οι κριτικές στο Heart Greece γράφονται από αναγνώστες: προς το παρόν μας στέλνονται με email και, όταν ανοίξουν οι λογαριασμοί, θα γράφονται από εγγεγραμμένους χρήστες. Δεν ελέγχουμε αν ο συντάκτης επισκέφθηκε πράγματι το κατάστημα ή αγόρασε από αυτό, επομένως οι κριτικές δεν είναι επαληθευμένες ως κριτικές πελατών. Πριν από τη δημοσίευση ελέγχουμε κάθε κριτική για spam, συνδέσμους, προσωπικά δεδομένα και παραβιάσεις των κανόνων μας και αφαιρούμε όσες διαπιστώνουμε ότι είναι ψεύτικες ή πληρωμένες. Οι επιχειρήσεις δεν μπορούν να πληρώσουν για να αφαιρεθούν κριτικές ή να αλλάξει η σειρά τους. Οι κριτικές εμφανίζονται με τις νεότερες πρώτες.

Posts and reviews are moderated before they appear. Αναρτήσεις και κριτικές δημοσιεύονται μετά από έλεγχο. Forum and review rules.
