NOTES : Villager's Salad is the classic Greek salad -- ripe tomatoes, sliced

onion, crunchy peppers and cucumbers, kalamata olives, feta, and extra-virgin

olive oil. Diporto is a small taverna, open for lunch only, on the perimeter of

the Athens Central Market. The cook and owner, Mitso, prepares all the classics

of simple country Greek fare, as well as the best horiatiki salata in the city.

His secret: the unabashed addition of hot green peppers.
