Street Food

Street food is here to remind us of gender distinctions in Modern Greek.

When you think of Greek food, the first thing that comes to mind is souvlaki or gyros. Souvlaki is grilled cubes of pork or chicken on a skewer.

Gyros is chopped pork meat grilled vertically in a rotisserie. There are two ways to order this: as a portion, that comes with all the ingredients

on a plate individually, or the other most popular option, as a wrapped sandwich. The sandwich consists of the meat of your choice,

sliced tomatoes, red onions, the famous tzatziki sauce (a thick sauce made of Greek yoghurt, cucumber, vinegar, olive oil, and lots of garlic),

and french fries, safely packed in a pita bread.

A traditional Greek breakfast includes at least a piece of a pie. Every morning the bakeries in Greece are full of people who grab their favorite kind

of pie and head to work. The secret ingredient of the great flavor comes from the phyllo, which is prepared with fresh products and pure love!

• There are many options when it comes to the filling of your pita.
• You can choose the traditional tyropita, which is a feta cheese pie :
• Spanakopita, which is spinach pie
• Pita stuffed with yellow cheese and bacon.
• Bougatsa with feta, or spinach, or mince.
• On the other hand, if you love sugar and sweet flavors, you should go for: the one and only Bougatsa
• filled with custard semolina cream and topped with sugar powder and cinnamon.

• Koulouri or Sesame Bagel, is the most popular snack in Greece. It is a round-shaped bagel, covered in sesame.

Although it is placed in the Greek street food list, it is highly nutritious and full of protein and fibers. It is the perfect Greek snack and beloved

my Greeks and international visitors alike. Whatever your taste in street food is, keep in mind the following:

“Τυρόπιτα and κουλούρι” are morning food, “γύρος” is afternoon and evening food. You are perfectly entitled to have a “κουλούρι” in the afternoon

and a “γύρος” in the morning, will be as fresh and delicious that you eat them they when the time is right.

Φαγητό στο χέρι

Ποιος δεν λαχταράει µια γευστική λιχουδιά στο χέρι; Η Ελλάδα αποτελεί τα τελευταία χρόνια έναν άκρως ενδιαφέροντα προορισµό

street food απολαύσεων από την πιο απλή εκδοχή µέχρι γεύσεις από ιδιαίτερες κουζίνες και περίτεχνες παρασκευές.

Ιδιαίτερες γεύσεις από διάφορες γωνιές του πλανήτη, από αυθεντικά μπέργκερ και πίτσα, μέχρι φαλάφελ, bao buns, churros

και φυσικά καθαρόαιμο ελληνικό σουβλάκι και ο γύρος από επαγγελματίες του χώρου που επένδυσαν και κατάφεραν να δώσουν

στο street food (φαγητό στο δρόμο) τη θέση που τους αξίζει στον γαστρονομικό χάρτη της Ελλάδας.
