We visited Greece several times and each time we were impressed by the views, the kind people and the food.<\/p>\n

Greece is a country rich in tasty and unique foods, and eating is a large part of the culture, as well. So visiting without trying a wide variety of the foods would be to miss out on a major part of the culture and history of\u00a0Greece.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Gyros<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We are sure you tasted gyros before visiting Greece, but the local one has that delicious flavor you won\u2019t forget. It is a handheld pita sandwich that is loved around the world. You can get it with a variety of different meats, including beef, lamb, chicken and pork.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Mousakka<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      It\u2019s like a pasta-free lasagne. Saut\u00e9ed eggplant, minced meat, tomato, onion, garlic, potato, b\u00e9chamel sauce and grilled cheese, layered and usually covered with cheese.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Tzatziki<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Basically it is yoghurt and cucumber seasoned with garlic. Goes great with meat, vegetables, pita, or just by itself with a spoon.<\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Souvlaki<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          It has small pieces of meat and vegetables grilled on a skewer. It can be ate hot or cold and it is both loved by adults and children. It can be served with\u00a0pita bread<\/a>,\u00a0fried potatoes,\u00a0lemon, and\u00a0sauces, but the souvlaki itself is eaten on its own, with the side dishes eaten subsequently.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Saganaki<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            It is a deep fried cheese.<\/p>\n

            The cheese used in cheese\u00a0saganaki<\/em>\u00a0is usually\u00a0graviera<\/a>,\u00a0kefalograviera,\u00a0halloumi,\u00a0kasseri,\u00a0kefalotyri, or\u00a0sheep’s milk\u00a0feta<\/a>\u00a0cheese.\u00a0\u00a0The cheese is melted in a small frying pan until it is bubbling and generally served with\u00a0lemon juice\u00a0and pepper. It is eaten with\u00a0bread.<\/p>\n

            \"\"<\/p>\n

            These are just a few iconic Greek dishes. You will have to beautiful Greece and discover its diversity of flavors and culture of food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
