Welcome back to Telios, the Greek village where bureaucracy meets baklava and the goats have more political sense than the mayors.
When a new wave of regulations threatens to close Zorba’s beloved seaside taverna once again, Peter and his formidable wife Alex rally the villagers to defend their tables, their traditions, and their right to argue loudly over dinner. What begins as a local skirmish soon spirals into full-blown municipal mayhem, complete with spoon-wielding grandmothers, a goat with diplomatic immunity, and a mayoral election that nobody actually wants to win.
Between the gossip-mongering Maria, philosopher-bench-dweller Spiros, saintly Father Evangelos, and the ever-present Theodora guarding her kitchen with divine wrath, the taverna becomes Greece in miniature: passionate, chaotic, generous, and gloriously alive.
Part memoir, part comic fiction, Zorba’s Taverna: The Trouble with Goats & Mayors is Peter Barber at his funniest and most affectionate. A warm, witty celebration of island life, friendship, food, and the beautiful absurdity of trying to organise anything in Greece.
If it didn’t happen exactly this way… it absolutely should have.
