Food of the Gods Land Here in Miramar Beach

Close your eyes and you can picture yourself sitting on the deck of a ferry as it glides through the deep Azure Blue waters of the Aegean Sea on its way to Santorini, or Naxos, or Crete.

Ok so how about the next best thing, dinner at the newly opened Aegean Greek Restaurant in Miramar Beach! 

If you are looking for traditional Greek cuisine just like Yia Yia used to make, the Aegean is the place for you! Along with the wonderful ambience and Greek style influenced decor, the service provided by Chris Rakas and his staff is first class. And of course there is the food...the wonderful Greek food. From the popular Tzatziki sauce served with pita to Spanakopita (spinach and feta cheese filling baked filo pies) to my favorite Dolamdes (grape leaves stuffed with rice and beef) the Aegean appetzier choices start the meal of right.

Now its time to jump into the main course...from the ever popular Gyro to traditional dishes such as Pasticho (baked Zita and beef in a Bechamel sauce) and of course Mousaka (baked stacked eggplant, potatoes, ground beef and Bechamel sauce...a Greek Lasagna) the menu here will transport you from Athens to Thira and beyond. Throw in a few Mediterranean and American dishes and you have the makings of a great night of dining for you, your friends and family.

The Aegean is opened for breakfast and lunch as well!
For a true taste of Greece, head on over the the Aegean Greek Restaurant in Miramar Beach.

NW FL Regional Airport (VPS) & Vision Airlines Connects the Emerald Coast!

Vision Airlines said on Monday that it is adding to its commercial passenger service in the Eastern U.S. with flights beginning March 25.

The small carrier has mostly been a charter operator, handling flights for the military as well as for tourists. On Monday it said it would add flights between Northwest Florida Regional Airport and cities including Asheville, N.C., Atlanta, Miami, the Orlando area, and other cities in Florida and the South.

According to the Tucson Citizen, "Vision says fares, some initially as low as $49 one way, will go on sale Tuesday for trips between the beach communities of northwest Florida and such cities as Baton Rouge, Knoxville, Tenn., and Little Rock starting March 25."

“The communities that they’re going to be flying to are difficult to get to via hub connections,” says Donovan, who adds that fares on larger carriers such as Delta and US Airways are often more than vacationers want to pay. “I think it’s going to bring back many people we’ve lost to driving,” Donovan told the Citizen.

Vision is set to announce the expansion at Destin's Emerald Grande Tuesday at 3 p.m.

Last month it added twice-a-day flights between Louisville, Ky. and Atlanta, and from Niagara Falls International Airport in New York to cities in Florida. Some of Vision's routes will compete with those flown by other carriers, such as Southwest Airlines Co.'s flights out of Buffalo, N.Y., which is near Niagara Falls.

Vision's fleet includes six Boeing Co. 767s and nine 737s.
