Greek Cuisine

While in Greece, we tried some of the cuisine. Especially the souvlaki with pita, which we ate at least once a day! The souvlaki (which is what we called it for short) is meat cooked on a gyro or a kebab stick and salad wrapped in pita bread with tzatziki, It’s like a cross between a taco and a kebab. The Greeks also add a few fried potatoes (fries) into the souvlaki. It’s so good. Greek salad is good too, especially if you like olives. The feta is made from goats and sheeps milk.

Another piece of Greek cuisine is Baklava. Baklava is pastry filled with chopped nuts and covered in honey. Absolutely delicious!

One more piece of Greek cuisine that we had were Loukoumades, which is fried, little round doughnuts soaked in honey, sometimes covered in cinnamon. They’re the best treat in all of Greece, and the Greeks know their desserts. And of course Greek yoghurt is amazing, rich and creamy.

Overall, the food in Greece is very delicious.

So many different types of baklava!

    I guess it will be nice to settle into a bit of routine again in Switzerland now. You have had so many exciting adventures in a short time. Very special.
    Bless you all and take care. Much love, Grandma
