Food - Back to Athens and this time, it's good

And by IT, I mean the Gyros, last time we tried our luck at a Gyro/Souvlaki place when we were in athens it was bordering on bad. This time we struck gold, I'm sure it has something to do with being on vacation or only costing 2.50 euro, but this is the best gyro i've ever had. And it's a chicken one at that! Salty and crispy on the outside, but still moist on the inside, the chicken was bursting with flavor. They topped it with red onion, ripe tomato, and flat leaf parsley. The sauce was less like tatziki, and more like a yogurt mayo mixture, tangy with a lot of lemon and definitely homemade and definitely delicious. This singe wrap has ranked up there with the most enjoyable meals of the trip. In fact after eating the first one I ordered a second on the spot. And we are planning our last meal in Athens already, you guessed it, another Gyro from Savas. Maybe this time i'll try the lamb or pork.

Food - the perfect Greek snack

After a quick trip to our local market in Pollonia Greece, on the island of Milos, i made myself a nice midday snack. A Greek salad always consists of tomatoes, feta, kalamata olives, oregano, and olive oil. As we have found out it can have a few other ingredients, such as bell pepper, cucumbers, and lettuce to name a few, but always includes the first six. 

The market in Pallonia sells produce that is grown all over the island, and in some cases right here in town. It seems like every Greek house hold has an array of fruits and veggies growing in their yard.
