Greek yoghourt is world famous and a very good alternative for a dessert while in Greece. Thicker and more tasty than "normal" yoghourt, it is sold here in supermarkets too, but it often comes in 1/2 liter sizes. I bought one to take away to a beach I was going to in the morning, but after finishing the whole pack (Buffff) I just couldn't have lunch that day!! Leave a Comment

Mezedes are the Greek Apetizers. It reminded me on a way the spanish tapas. They are little pieces of typical greek dishes that you may have as an informal meal with a beer or wine.
To go "mezedes hopping" is a good way to get to know Greek Gastronomy in an evening! Leave a Comment

Pallatia restaurant was a real discovery to me in Naxos. I was looking for a way to visit the Apollo Gate, in the Pallatia peninsula, not far from the capital centre. Walking along the pier I smelt some grilled fish and went on to have a look. Then I saw this little restaurant, at the pier under the Apollo gate Hill, where they had those classical Greek Menus including fresh fish and octopus. It was still noon so I sat on the pier, took off my clothes and had a swimm on the bay. Then I lied under the sun for a while, and at 1:30 I had a wooonderful lunch overlooking the capital's Castro.... a wonderful afternoon!

Patsa is a very popular dish in Greece, though some of you might find it a little disgusting! It's basically a soup of intestines and parts of the stomach.
It is a local custom to have it early in the morning after a "crazy night". A good place to taste it in Athens is Papandreou, in the Meat Central market. Leave a Comment

This popular restaurant is located inside the Meat Central Market in Athens. It has a couple of tables on the Market's aisles, a perfect place to sit for lunch while you observe the busy activity in the Market.
They have a menu, but is usual to go to the kitchen and choose there your dish.
Patsa (a stomachs and intestines soup) is one of my favourites!! Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Meat Market (Athens)

This restaurant with terraceis a real classic in Plaka. It is located in the very heart of it, surrounded by many others. So what's the difference? ...
Here you can find probably the cheapest menus in Plaka. You can order for a menu WITHOUT DRINK, so is cheaper than the average, that include the drink. You can order then a jar of tap water, that is FREE! Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Kydathineon, 18Phone: 01 0322 7368

Kytron is a typical drink from Naxos. Is a kind of liquor made out of the Citronella tree, which gives it a certain acid flavour.
There are 3 varieties: yellow, transparent and green, depending on the amount of sugar and the dryness of the liquid. You will hardly find it outside Naxos, so if you like it, buy a couple of bottles there! Leave a Comment

Greek Salad is the star of starters in most Greek restaurants... at least in the touristic ones. There are many variations on this delicious salad, but most include:
- Feta (greek oat cheese)
- Black Olives
- Marjoram
- Tomato
- Green pepper stripes
- Olive Oil
- Onion
Some may add lettuce... too. Leave a Comment Theme: Vegan/VegetarianPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensive

In some Greek Restaurants (specially in the old fashioned classic ones) you can go to the kitchen area and see the daily dishes by yourself. I like it this way much more, as you can see directly what you are gonna eat and can decide much easier what to have for lunch. Leave a Comment

Here are some recipes that I was given while visiting Greece:
Tzatziki is a favorite Greek recipe. This dip combines the Greek's love of fresh herbs and vegetables with yogurt. Remember, the Greeks take pride in serving foods with very fresh ingredients.
What you Need
1 cucumber, seeded and cut into small chunks
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 cup fresh plain yogurt
vegetables
What you do
1. Mix cucumber pieces, garlic powder, olive oil, and dill together in a small bowl.
2. Add the plain yogurt and mix well.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Put the bowl into the refrigerator for at least two hours.
4. Serve the tzatziki as a dip for vegetables.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups of dip
Greek Salad
This salad uses many items commonly found in Greece. Balsamic vinaigrette dressing combines vinegar, olive oil, and spices to make this salad very flavorful.
What you Need
2 cups sliced tomatoes
2 1/2 cups cucumbers, peeled, quartered
1/2 cup red pepper, diced
1/2 cup green pepper, diced
1/4 cup sweet red onion, diced
1/4 cup black kalamata olives, pitted
1/4 cup shredded fresh garden basil leaves
1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing
1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
What you do
1. Mix the tomatoes, cucumbers, red pepper, green pepper, onion, olives, and basil in a large salad bowl.
2. Coat evenly with balsamic vinaigrette dressing by tossing with salad tongs.
3. Crumble the feta cheese on top and serve.
Refrigerate leftovers.
This recipe is for those of you with a "sweet tooth". This candy is quick to make and delicious, too.
Amigthalo praline
What you Need
1 1/4 cups sliced almonds
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 sheet of foil
What you do
1. Rub 2 tablespoons of butter onto the sheet of foil.
2. Mix the almonds, 1 tablespoon of butter and the sugar in a large skillet.
3. Heat the almond mixture over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
4. When the almonds turn golden brown, remove them from the heat.
5. Spread the almond mixture evenly over the buttered sheet of foil.
6. Let it cool undisturbed.

This candy is also used as a crunchy topping for ice cream in Greece Leave a Comment Theme: Other
