The Food in Greece You Need to Try

The food in Greece is amazing. Surely the best food out there from Europe’s offering? What do you think?

Honestly, felt so chubs by the time it came to boarding the plane back to England I could only just about eat that ice cream at the airport.

Ever since I’ve been dreaming of the feta, and the yogurt and honey breakfasts, oh and the Kantaifi with everything. And why are the prawns so tasty over there?

I spent a week island hopping in the Sporades – between Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos – with Olympic Holidays and Jayne from GirlTweetsWorld. On each island we restaurant hopped, relaxed on the beach, joined in on the Mamma Mia tours and took many a nail biting coastal drives in our super cool jeep. But it’s the food I feel the need to write about first.

I want to reminisce about every delicious calorie that passed my lips.

So, thought I’d make sure you a list of all the food in Greece you need to try if you’re going over this summer.

The Food in Greece You Need to Try

1. Feta me meli

I was a little confused by Feta Me Meli and Feta Saganaki to start, but the difference is the filo pastry. Feta Saganaki is basically deep fried feta often drizzled in honey and sesame seeds, while Feta Me Meli is fried in filo pastry and then drizzled in honey and seeds. Very different, but both delicious, although the Feta Me Meli is just that little bit more delicious in my opinion.

This beaut was devoured at Ostria in Alonissos, on the waterfront. We had a delicious meal here, recommended by our Olympic Holidays rep, Chrissy.
