As a greek I can confirm you gonna get very fat very quickly lol These are treats, most Greeks don't eat that stuff very often, maybe on a night out, maybe something to order mid week when football is on TV. At home we generally eat lighter and we tend to cook almost every day. Legumes cooked in various ways, lots of different pasta dishes, fish probably once a week, stuffed veggies, chicken & potatoes in the oven, spinach & rice dish, various oven baked pies, these are all very common home made Greek foods. And theres always a big salad to share on the table. And bread from the bakery, never the wrapped sliced bread, this crap is full of sugar. Fun fact: Greece is the only western(ish) country where MacDonalds basically failed, they only kept some restaurants in very central places for the tourists LOL
Im also Greek myself and im on carnivore diet. Greek "food" to me is a treat once or twice a year. Used to be 260lbs and dropped to 170lbs, also my diabetic symptoms dissapeared. Every single grandparent i had died from diabetes, alzheimers followed by dementia. In other words type 3 diabetes by eating sugars/carbs and useless vegetables that cause inflammation. Fat, protein and i feel great and dropping the weight.
Yes Mcdnld's failed because Greece has its own fast food culture. - i e. Who would want to eat a big Mac, if you can have a gero or souvlaki with fries on the go?
I am Greek, so I'm not objective (as I am Greek), but to me spinach pie is the best in the world. You got the crunchy dough, you got the spinach (which is a super food), you got the other herbs and last but not least, you got the feta cheese... perfection. And the thread that binds all the ingredients together is extra virgin olive oil, of course...
Kleftiko looks yummy. Pita gyros is delicious 🌮 I like it with out onions.,with tyrokafteri. Pie with cheese or bugatsa are perfect morning food. Baklava is for holidays like in Christmas,A family sweet. other greek foods must try is: Gemista, Dolmades,Choriatiki salat, Pastitsio, Moussaka, Giouvetsi.
welcome to my country, Greeks rarely don't like baklava, we have much nicer sweets, why tourists eat it is inexplicable. Try galaktobouriko much better 💙💙👍👍
Καλά είσαι σοβαρή στους Έλληνες δεν αρέσει μπακλαβάς??? ότι να ναι ρε πού τα βρίσκεις και τα λες αυτά πιωμένη ήσουνα όταν τα έγραφες!!! Οι Έλληνες της Κωνσταντινούπολης με μπακλαβά και κανταΐφια μεγαλώσαμε.
3:00 mark: 3,80 € for a pita gyros is actually too much, at least for most of us Greeks !! I remember a time not that long ago that I could buy that for AT LEAST 1€ cheaper !! Street food ( like everything else...) is getting constantly more expensive...
I don’t think is that expensive You see how big it is?who put so many potatoes and so gyro?3,3-3,5 is usual now but this is very good for 3,8 is huge! The owner is meraklis Where you buy this?
All of what he ate is traditional Greek food, none of it originated in Crete or is Cretan region specific, so why in the world are you calling it "Cretan cuisine"?.
It's kontOsouvli. Thank you for promoting (a tiny part of) our cousine and most of these are indeed great, but do yourself a favor and try to find some "less tourist" version of some of them. Even better.
kleftiko has ALWAYS cheese (kefalotiri) !! Normaly not on the top like this on the video but has a lot of "hidden" pieces of kefalotiri cheese. I do this recipe and it is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!! > ua-cam.com/video/mAcc7xMcWXc/v-deo.html
Just so you know. Most of these are street foods. Greeks are not eating like this at home. Meat is rare in traditional cuisine and that's why when we get outside we eat a lot of it.
Dude, this isnt what the greeks eat every day . Traditionally meat was only consumed on special occassions. Get yourself a greek cook book , blow your mind.
3,80 for a souvlaki is expensive, I had chevapi in Serbia which is excellent, the name and only is the equivalent of Kebap so obviously is the same meal with slight differences, Serbs were under the Ottoman rule for five hundred years
Brother all those foods I saw it’s average. You have to go to better places in Greece to eat those kind of food. You have to visit Thessaloniki and Crete for good quality
Before 1453 there were NO turks in the area but Hellenes was always there with they're cuisine ..You thieves stole everything from Byzantium and the rest of minor Asia including recipes from Smyrna,Efesos alykarnasos ,Bursa etc.. So tell your stories somewhere else Turkish troll..Your cuisine is garbage..
BACLAVA AND ALL FOODS AND PASTRIES ARE GREEK,THE TURKS FOUND ALREADY THERE IN BYZANTIUM AT 1453 THAT ATTACK IN KOSTANTINOPLE,AND THE MINOR ASIA AND AFTER WARS AND THEY CONQUERED THESE GREEK CITIES, CHURCHES, CULTURE, FOOD....EVERYTHING.EVEN AYIA SOFIA AND LOT OF GREEK ANCIENT MONUMENTS TURKS CLAIM THAT THEY ARE TURKISH, OR....ROMAN....
Baklava comes from ancient Greece and the recipe has survived through the ages. In ancient times it was called Vakla. Greeks have been kebabbing meat since the Minoan and Mycenean Age when no one in Europe knew what a Turk was. Back in the 1980's National Geographic did a whole magazine devoted to Byzantium. and in it Turkish historians admit that the only thing they brought with them from the depths of Asia was a small utensil for making bread and nothing else. By the way, the star and crescent on the Turkish flag is also Greek being the symbol of the of the ancient Greek city of Byzantium which later became Constantinople. Have a nice day!
@@theobessiris9681 Yes, the moon, stars, solar system, galaxies and even the universe belong to Greeks. 😏The moon and star are symbols that Turks have used since the time Turks lived in Central Asia. Even your prime minister admits that baklava is a Turkish dessert. Baklava is not even a Greek word, it is a Turkish word. Before the 1920s, there was no food called gyros in Greece. You came to know this food thanks to the Greeks who came from Türkiye after the Türkiye-Greece population exchange.
Some dishes are common all over Balkans and Turkey - different, but equally good. Others, like baklava or kantaifi, are better in Turkey and there are also food that you can't find anywhere else.

Unless something changed since i left, burger (american style) itis considered an opportunity to have good meat.
I love it when my fellow British compatriots enjoy Greek food (I'm British-Greek) 🇬🇧🇬🇷
Cheers! Great food!
Fries , gemista, gyro , souvlaki, lamb chops, calamari, saganaki , …….❤️🇬🇷
For Sure 😄
To have an opinion about greek food you must spend a year with a greek family

WRONG: spinach is a KILLER. Literally. Highly toxic.
Yum, I want to go to Greece and eat what your eating.

Thanks for the tips!
no man baklavas is better than galaktobouriko
Μη λες σας συναρτησίες οι αληθινοί Έλληνες από την Κωνσταντινούπολη τρώγαν μπακλαβά και κανταΐφι
Bullshit!!!
Greeks love baklava and kafaif
Besides gyro anything else is better homemade so if you liked all of these things you are going to love them homemade in my opinion.
Love Greece 🇬🇷❤️👌👍
Freedom to Kurdistan

Would have liked to have the name and/or location of each of the establishments you got each of these foods at while in Athens.
You should try some traditional foods like fasolada mousaka , welcome to Greece 🇬🇷

Cretan cuisine

So, everybody, before to travel to Greece go to your dentist and prepare your mouth for the upcoming experience!
Mate..easy way to pronounce Gyros is ..."year -os"
.............. the G is silent
Oh, my God, I am so starving. I swear! Ha ha
You spoilt the gyro by opening it up like that!
You have to try fasolakia freska with feta cheese and bouyatsa for dessert :) Bon appetit!
Ιts all soublaki right ?
Please next time eat a classic souvlaki with tzatziki and not red sauce.
Im from greeceee 😅
I love everything about Greece. No wonder, the Gods chose to live there😂
Ancient Greek Gods where alive out of the imagination of the ancient Greeks
Lemon to the squids, next time!!!
Just so you know. Most of these are street foods. Greeks are not eating like this at home. Meat is rare in traditional cuisine and that's why when we get outside we eat a lot of it.
Not that rare we have meat 3 times a week.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
My friend here is the Α and Ω.for everything you know
You must go to village's.and after all the the taste you must tell my about diet 😅
Χαιρετε. Να φιαξουμε λιγο τις ονομασιες......ΤΖΑΤΖΙΚΙ......ΠΙΤΑ .

Dude, this isnt what the greeks eat every day . Traditionally meat was only consumed on special occassions. Get yourself a greek cook book , blow your mind.
This video is far from what we eat at home.We prepare a lot of veggies and salads.You found out only the street food.

Cretan food is amazing, Thessaloniki not so much; pretty mediocre.
He can definitely find good food in Athens, just not in the tourist area.
I don't think you can try them after you die.
There only fries ffs
Fries ffs? They sound good 😃
You bought trigona from the wrong store.. these are very low quality in comparison to some other ones.
ΤΙ ΝΟΜΙΖΕΣ;;;;;
ΑΝ ΜΠΟΡΕΙΣ ΠΕΣ ΚΑΤΙ ΑΛΛΟ Η ΔΙΑΦΟΡΕΤΙΚΟ😎😎
Gyros and suvlaki are sooo stereotypical! Greek cuisines has a huge variety of dishes for all tastes! Learn to eat for god's sake!
Baklava is Turkish dessert and Gyros is a variation of Turkish doner. Before the 1920s, there was no food called gyros in Greece.

Baklava comes from Syria i think..
This kleftiko looks awful. Definitely ready made, like most food you eat in tavernas in the tourist district…opaaaa!!!

Greek kitchen is a failed copy paste of the Turkish cuisine

Turks adopted occupied byzantine region cuisine.Nomads never had time for gourmand cooking...
@@mariamarkou7544 Your so-called “greek” cuisine consists of 90% Turkish dishes. baklava, yoghurt, tzatziki, dolma-des, loukma-des, kattaifi, keftedakia, revani, imam baildi, kourabiedes, mousaka, gyros (Turkish doner), “greek” coffee (Turkish coffee) and this list goes on.
