 | | ONE OF THE MANY ADVENTURES YOU WILL FIND DURING YOUR TRAVELS TO GREECE IS
THE FOOD. HERE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITES. REMEMBER THE GREEKS EAT LATE SO NO SURPRISE IF YOU ARE DINNING AT 11:00 PM.
DINNING: all of Greece variety of foods and drink can
be found in the many cafes and restaurants of Athens. If it is psaria (fish),
kalamara (squid) or maybe tsoutsoukakia (meat balls in tomato sauce) or maybe
the traditional fast food gyro (meat, tomatoes, cream sauce all wrapped in a
peta bread) you will find them all in Athens. (see other dishes below).
