Food : no doubt about it, the tourist restaurants are to be avoided at any price; the taverns (Taverna) are a much better bet.
See also : Greek products (Ouzo, Retsina, Raki, coffee etc.), and also the recipes of Yaya Eleni.
Greek cuisine is composed mainly of fresh produce. Breakfast is usually just coffee, sometimes with a piece of fruit, some bread and cheese or a yoghurt made from goat’s milk and sweetened with honey.
It is in the taverns that the Greeks get together over a meal. Don’t be afraid to join them and start up a conversation, you’ll be rewarded with memorable moments.
