Welcome back to our Greek Street Food series! This is our last episode and in today’s video we are eating some of the BEST food we had in Greece. We are starting the day eating a spread of “mezedes” (Greek small plates). This includes smoked mackerel, dolma (stuffed grape leaves), and eggplant & zucchini in spicy Cappadocian sauce. To top it off, we tried their baklava and a candied carrot dessert.
Next, we are taking you across Athens to sample the food of Crete. Crete is Greece’s largest island and has its own cuisine. At I Kriti, we order Cretan style snails, apaki (smoked & salted pork), yemista (stuffed peppers) and dakos (Cretan salad with rusk). We also ordered their house wine which was awesome.
In between meals, we visited the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. It houses some of the most important Greek artifacts in the world. It was a beautiful place to explore and we recommend checking it out.
For dinner, we are back in downtown Athens for a traditional Greek meal. We tried kontosouvli (meat on a spit), a classic Greek salad and tsatziki. We were very full but so happy!
