Hi Fellow travellers. Dutchified here. I'm sitting on a beach near Athens
and I thought it would be the perfect time to talk to you about Greek food.
I've been in Athens for a few days experiencing some of the great Greek food on offer here.
It's ironic to be sitting on a beach surrounded by people with beach bodies
These people clearly don't eat a lot of food I on the other hand do
So I thought that it would be a perfect opportunity to speak to you about some of the stuff you can encounter here.
some of the great food that you'll find here
One of the things really to try when you come here is meze. It's kind of like small little dishes we
had some last markets that are a great little deli half-clad on the streets in
athens and they brought us a plate of pita bread delicious pita bread warmed
up cut into little pieces and then they brought us a selection of your findings
like who must teach me I mean the varieties of Splendor he had six or
seven different types of digital all fantastic also bring other little side
dishes that we had like fried calamari and mix of greek sausages the key
selection of cheeses the variety was just so nice and it's just such rich
fresh flavors it's a great way to sample a little bit of everything if you like
me I don't like to eat just one dish I like to take a little bit of everything
to me there's a perfect way to do that and really a way to experience exists of
what the Greek food has to offer now you come to happen agree one of the things
you're sure to encounter is reaching reaches them into our world of course
will not achieve the other favorite of mine is halloumi G so when you come out
at and one of the things you really have to try is some sort of variety of feta
cheese you'll find of course in a salad in the traditional form but we've
encountered some delicious varieties one of my favorites we had a game last night
at this deli was this kind of fried press a cheese dish with tomato chopped
herbs garlic really delicious it was kind of like a pistol with a base so had
all the greatness of pizza without the calories that comes on the base those
are something you definitely want to try halloumi cheese is my other favorite
which you'll find out here and grilled it's delicious on a salad it's delicious
really in any form it's delicious the feta cheese the movie cheese my two
favorites they go with anything even plain it's absolutely amazing
so definitely want to try some of the cheese's Archer next up is Greek yogurt
you can't go wrong with Greek yogurt it's thick it's creamy it's delicious
and it's got some health benefits double the protein of normal yogurt it's also
much richer much thicker sauce much more substantial really delicious I love it
we've been having it here for breakfast everyday it's served in the hotel
because you get huge bowls of it and always have expression of fresh fruits
that you can get with it and my personal favorite is the honey the Greek honey is
just delicious they serve it qualify honeycomb absolutely amazing and it just
really adds to the region for the Greek yogurt Greek yogurt already is amazing
on its own you add some nuts add some food you add the yogurt it's just heaven
it's life-changing one of my favorite things to eat a is called moussaka it's
a lovely traditional Greek dish and it's sort of like a lasagna I guess and it's
got eggplant mince bitch muffled delicious really great one thing to know
here is that portion puzzles are really big we ordered some moussaka
I'm also sort of taste because I like to solve a lot of little things and they
put a massive massive portion of moussaka and then she started adding
vegetables we were like so wait wait wait don't put too many and it was
really funny the lady's like no it's in the price of course when it's in the
price here you got to take it but be aware that portion sizes are really big
but moussaka is one of the things you really want to try so probably shared
with a few people it's really delicious a lot like lasagna like I said but with
sort of eggplant aubergine so it's got a very specific flavor and really
delicious I mean you really want to try when you act if I can see behind me it
is beautiful it's a sunny day we're on the beach you're probably likely to come
to Greece in the summer month so you're going to find for whether it's pretty
much this was something that's absolutely unavoidable about Greece it's
a dry heat you'll be sweating everywhere but there's one way to combat that and
it's something that I really love out here is the iced coffee it's one of the
typical things that you want to try here it's delicious in every version they've
got a proper they've got a greater cappuccino afraid or espresso they've
got various things with I call that various different guises with sugar with
milk without regrets you can have it in any way you like it's delicious it will
keep you cool we're probably having two three four a day
it's that good and it's one of the things you'll be drinking here
copious amounts of it because it's delicious its regional its local funny
you get here typically and it's absolutely amazing so you'll definitely
go for that as a refreshment one of the things you're likely to encounter here
and it's a must try is the street food there's a tremendous variety of street
food is everything it's pastries is bread one of my favorites and you'll see
a sort of the kebab shop is the souvlaki and that's kind of like the pita bread
they've got sliced meat usually chicken pork they put in a pita bread with some
yogurt some cucumber tomato it's really delicious you'll find on the street in
various places two three years really cheap and it's delicious and gives you a
real authentic flavor of Greece and thing is the thing you really need to
