He kept us well fed and hydrated and kept the spirits up with lots of funny jokes. The sunset itself unfortunately wasn’t the best due to the weather conditions - but Kosta definitely made up for it. The evening ended with beautiful food in a traditional tavern and Greek dancing. Very wholesome evening and THANK YOU TO KOSTA!”
