Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лип 2024
- Today we're going on a Cretan food road trip across the best island for food in all of Greece. We'll be stopping along the way in the town of Vyrses to taste authentic Greek yogurt before continuing to the port town of Rethymnon. Here we visit a master in his element making phylo dough to make baklava. Traditions remain unchanged in this hidden baklava factory. After the baklava it's off to Stella's kitchen for the best plate of Cretan food anywhere in town. Finishing off in Rethymnon we make our way to Stalida bay to meet up with our new friends Angela and Mike. Their hospitality made our trip to Crete unforgettable, and don't get me started on that lamb!!!

Greek yogurt is world-famous, but I didn’t expect it to be particularly attractive when paired with pie!
Surprisingly, the dough turned into balloons, that chef is so talented!
Baklava is a work of art. I really want to eat it. I feel like I will be happy all day long after just eating one bite!
The lasagna also looks delicious. After watching the video, I feel that Greek food is not inferior to that of Italy and France!
I’m glad you explained the history of the Abbey and made this video richer!
That town is really beautiful, as if traveling through time. Thank you very much for sharing, super great job! 👍🥰👏
Thanks Gianni there is a lot of great food here in Greece!
@@LukeMartin You are most welcome! Thanks a lot for telling me, you are very nice!
Not Lasagna, call it Pastitsio. The best plate in Greece and with Feta cheese is totally delicious!
Really? What does mean yoghurt and baklava in greek? Do they have any meaning? Since they are of Turkish origin, it seems difficult for them to have a meaning in Greek 😂
Greek cuisine is the best in the world, all fresh, the healthiest, the best climate too thats way and a huge culture
Who you think you're kidding?
@@rawbbingmysellph7464He is Correct! TasteAtlas rates it second, but it’s the BEST 🇬🇷👍🏻
Συγγνώμη, αλλά αυτά τα ποστ δείχνουν άγνοια και αλαζονεία και κόμπλεξ. Είναι υγιεινή, αλλά το ίδιο είναι και οι κουζλινες άλλων χωρών.

Stella's looks amazing. Her son is kinda cute too.
I just booked their Villa for a family holiday in 2024! 🙂
I’ve been to Crete twice and both times was a great experience, great food and people.
stamnagathi is also only fresh in the winter months. In the summer we eat Vleeta, also a great green but not as bitter
Honestly can’t wait to go back. Next time let’s do Crete together!
Lets do it, im going in the spring of 24 for a couple months@@LukeMartin
@@andymilonakis So wait..... are you here now????
The greens in Stella's restaurant taste like a greek mother's hug. Man i miss Greece.
Watching people make phyllo is like watching a magic trick :)
He’s a baklava magician!
Stella seems great!😊 And her food as well!
She is!!!
If you like greek mama's food you will love Stella's kitchen!!For me as a Greek,brings me up memories from my childhood and with the combination of hospitality I always leave this place with a bigger smile and a warmer heart..
Very good video,I loved your vibes..
Keep up the good work.. 🤙🤙
Wonderful video Luke. "Greek hospitality, the best in the world." So true. X
What an incredible food tour! I love Greek cuisine and I eat Greek yogurt daily, but I bet it's not as delicious as what you had in Crete! Thank you for sharing such a tasty experience!! 🤗
STELLAS KITCHEN ITS ABSOLUTELLY AMAZING🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥
The pasta dish is pastitsio, they told you it was 'like' lasagne.
Great video my friend! I've enjoyed watching you for years 😊
Thanks so much!
Greeks are very hospitable by tradition. Touristy places are not the same for sure, but I remember my mom always kept the good stuff for the visitors and we weren't allowed to touch them. We were poor but always had the best food for visitors.
I absolutely love Greek food. We have an authentic Greek restaurant where we live, and we're their regular customers. Greek food is absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing the beautiful part of Greek with us.❤❤Luke and Mink, take care.
That is awesome!
Thanks Luke. You look like someone out of Pennsylvania. , maybe not. Anything on Greece is special,my father's birth place ,enjoyed the duck part ,nature .everything looks amazing ,love your video shares.🙏to a long happy life.
If you're still in Greece come to Nafplio and we can take you some incredible restaurants. We had a great time in Crete 4yrs ago.
So nice country
Been visiting Crete for 20 years, the Cretan hospitality & food is wonderful. Kleftiko (lamb) is probably my favourite dish.
Homemade Cretan food and barbecue are great, I want to try them 👍
Oregano on grilled meet is so heavenly
🇬🇷♥️🇬🇷♥️🇬🇷
🇬🇷 food is amazing Luke!! Gyros, pastitsio, man I could go on!! Your content is dope!! And that Adidas 👕 is clean!!
Feta cheese in Greece is really in nice chunks compared anywhere even in European countries you don't get as much as you get in Greece.Yes sometimes some food must not be recorded,but enjoyed without camera 📸😊Nice video
The village with the famous yoghurt is called Vrises - (water) springs!
I grew up in a town with a decent sozed Greek population, and Greek food was always a special treat as a child.
In college I went to a place and just wanted a gyro for lunch, and they pushed the pastitsio special that day on me, hard. I said yes and got treated like a grandkid that day. She brought the plates out to the table with a flourish and I had the feeling I better eat it all or I'd be in trouble lol
It wasn't what I wanted but it was so good. That touch of nutmeg in the bechamel was really nice 😊 Still remember it.
Hey Luke an Mink I hope you're both well and safe. Greek street food looks absolutely amazing! I love greek yogurt, it's one of my favourite breakfasts to have. Baklava dessert is so rich, but so fantastic and full of flavour, I love that you learnt about Phylo dough and how to make it. So cool
Love your videos! Thank you for all your hard work in making these for us! Always look forward to your shows
Glad you like them!
I've always liked Greek food and find Greek yogurt to be far superior to the usual yogurt we buy here in the States. I can't help but wonder whether the Cretan yogurt, plain, has a different mouth feel and flavor than the "Greek" yogurt we can purchase here in the Upper Midwest.
I still remember the local youghurt and honey we had for our breakfasts in Zakynthos in the 1980’s…
Spinach and rice or spanakorizo, is also a favorite of mine and my children i cook it often and i love it. Thank you for your beautiful video of our island.
Great tour n vlog 👍 Thanks 4 sharing 😊
Looks so good
OMG it is like the food welcomes you and hugs you
It looks so delicious
Amazing beautiful friendly people
Everything looks so delicious! Every country has their own cuisine and culture. I enjoy your UA-cams because you are humble and always respectful of the countries culture and cuisines. You have a good every day!
"spinach and rice, yum".
said no greek child ever XD
The darker green with rice is Spinach, the other green is Radichi or Vlita, both tastes wonderfull!
We watch you all the time thank you for visiting my country
Stella’s looks amazing
Amizing luke 😊

Salut-Luke,top channel,be well. :))
Thank you!
❤❤❤❤
Luke beautiful videos but you have to name the city like chania,rethymnon etc plus the name of the village is unknown
Please next time take a Pic of the restaurant name
Thank you
The “clean water” at Vrisses has nothing to do with the yogurt 😂
i know haha oops where did i come up with that
@@LukeMartin haha. No worries.
I wondered about that too 🙂
Andy Milanokis would be proud..
it's not luassania, it's called pastitsio it's a greek food

Please, the wonderful food of Crete must be named and described in it's Greek name. Coming from an American who spent 2 years there I always tried to speak the vast, beautful Greek language.
The dishes are great, they look delicious. Just one little thing, the taster doesn't know how to use cutlery, especially a knife🙈
We live Food from Symi
non topic BUT when did he get another girl?
In the end,this was fresh thyme ,not oregano. 🙂
names and adresses would be nice
Luke what happened to Sabrina? Did you both break up?
I'm hearing Rice-ys. It's VRYSES pronounced VRI-SESS.

@@SpartanLeonidas1821 I am Turk and I eat pork. I don't care about others. Go pay your debts before you talk mate :)
@@SpartanLeonidas1821 On taste atlas, everyone who visits the website can vote, and you take this very seriously. Apparently, there is no professional jury there. and you are currently in the 3rd place, go vote 😂 gyros is a copy of Turkish doner. Before the 1920s, there was no food called gyros in Greece, and what you call "greek" coffee is actually Turkish coffee. I'm sorry, but 90% of the so-called "greek" cuisine consists of dishes inherited from the Turks. Just look at its etymological roots, like dolma-des and yoghurt 😉
Please don’t say Lazania/ cuddles .They are makaroni in the oven OR pastitsio,,pleeese
Did you change your girlfriend?
Hey Luke come to again Turkey :)
Im new to your channel. I love your content. But for the love of God, get a manicure my bro- your girl has gorgeous nails - I cant concentrate on the food when your fingers look like they may explode from a disease.
Just go one hour before or after her (I don’t want to take away her “girl alone time”) but if she goes there, u can trust them to do a good job. Just a strangers opinion 💜
Turkish and Greeks actually have same atmosphere. Same food culture. Unfortunately both side of politicians trying to trigger their people when they have cornered.
Greek food is better,fresh and healthy, turkey cover their meat with spices all the time,probably to mask cheap quality meat.
@@mikeymike1854 we have a too much different type of area. You are talking about east sides of Turkey. You can research about Ege region.

@@canali3018Ege = Aegean. Our Variety is greater because of our islands. Greek Cuisine also has Italian & French influences.

On ALL Culinary Sites Hellenic Cuisine is Ranked Higher than yours. How do you explain that? Let me guess, you will play the victim card now…right? LOL 🤣🦃
Your girlfriend needs to button up her shirt while visiting any church, monastery or holy site with priests and monastics present out of respect please. In Greece it is disrespectful to show the tummy at these places, wear shorts or have bare arms etc.
How mch percent is stolen food ?
You are turk right...?
ALRIGHTY THEN...
There is no such thing as'turkish cuisine'. Your 'turkish cuisine' is copy paste recipes from the lands you enslaved in past.Because you change the names of those recipes doesnt make them yours...they make you thieves.Something that you turks are famous for... Your 'turkish dolma' is the ancient Greek fylaion, dating back in Alexanders the great years... Your 'turkish kiofte' is the Byzantin kopton. Your 'turkish cocoretsi' is the Byzantine garthoumpa or plechti. Your 'turkish koulouri' we have it in ancient Greek potery pictures. Your 'turkish yougart' you can fint it in Homers epic Troy with the name xinogala... Your 'turkish kebab' is Lebanese... Greeks was eating souvlaki from 1500 bc.Evidences of it founded in Santorini ancient city of akrotiri... Your 'turkish coffe' is Arabic... Your 'turkish kataif' is the Byzantin mallia aggelou... Your 'turkish...bla bla bla....oh...i can go all day.Greeks had recipes books from bc.They didnt expecting from some mogolian nomads who was eating uncooked meat that was stored under the horses sits.(its described by Byzantines) I know that in your country they are bombing you with propaganda 24/7 but even you cant be soo...st...blind.

About 99% of all t0rkish cuisine is simply stolen from Greeks, Arabs, Persians, & Armenians. Even their alphabet was arab & now latin. They even try to portray Churches as mosques & even copy pasted that Architecture 🤣🦃🛖
Turkish Bkhlava is the very best ..turkish uses tons of pistachio and thier dough is super thin as well.this bkhlava looks like its lacking pistachio it looks just burnt sugar on a crispy thin dough..Greek yogurt is very good I bet better then turkey..
They are both different, so calm down
They are both amazing and there should never be an argument over food just enjoy. Cultures mingle and exchange processes, techniques in food making for thousands of years
We make different baklava. More aromatic. Also we don't use that much pistachio because are expensive in Greece. The production is limited to cover the needs of the whole country. We use only locally grown pistachios
As people mentioned before, we make our own version of baklava. In my mother's island, baklava doesn't even have pistachios in it. It is made with local almonds.
As a Greek I agree with you about Baklava. Imo Turkish is better. Not too heavy.
Everything very nice but the perception of what is Greek music...
this is not baklava.....If you want to eat baklava, go to Turkey.

Riight...because as we all know, the Turks who arrived in Anatolia in the 11th c. were all culinary masters, they brought with them the thin phyllo for baklava (Byzantine), the stuffed vine leaves (Levantine) or the yogurt (Bulgarian)...grow up
even your Greek president is saying Baklava is Turkish :) @@kenmasters2034
@@borarider669 The origins of baklava date back to ancient times. Around the eighth century B.C.E.,(when you NEVER existed...) people in the Assyrian Empire, which spread across parts of modern-day Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Syria and Turkey, arranged unleavened flatbreads in layers, with chopped nuts in between, to be enjoyed during special events.Some historians still claim that the baklava recipe has its roots in Ancient Greece, where they made the gastrin, a sweet very similar to the current baklava. Others say that baklava originates from the Byzantine era.Turks 'adopted' it and as they always do change its name during ottoman era and claim it as theirs...

So you say Turkey perpetrated a holocaust to Greek people? That is a huge accusation. Are you sure about that?
Yup!
greekcitytimes.com/2020/11/08/1866-holocaust-arkadi-monastery/?amp
I think you don’t know the meaning of “War”. This is not the holocaust.
@@LukeMartinyou're basing that off a Greek media news outlet?? Bias much? Do proper research before you throw around serious accusations like that particularly when people make it their life's work to research such issues.
@@peonypink7943 So according to your historical sources the Arkadi Monastery massacre never happened? What about Chios massacre with 100.000 dead did that happen or did Eugène Delacroix create the famous painting portaiting the slaughter in 1824 out of the blue? And what about Samothrace (1821), Kos, Rhodes, Psara (1824)? What about the siege of Messolonghi where Lord Byron died? What about the Peloponnese where the city of Patras and Kalamata were raised to the ground? What about the city of Naoussa in 1822 where the entire population was either killed or taken into slavery? What do your historical sources tell us about all that?
turks ended the 3.500 Hellenic Presence in Anatolia. Literally even conducted a pogrom against the last Greeks of Constantinople in the 1950’s. Same on Imbros & Tenedos which had a Semi-Autonomous Status.
Your state is very guilty of many crimes. We won’t start to mention the bigger ones like Armenian Gen0cide 🤭 & many others…
Even until a few months ago your president said he wants to launch a Ballistic Missile on Athens, a European City of 5 Million People 🤡
