Does anyone know where the best places in Athens are to get "Toast"? I will be staying near the Plaka this time, but the location of the place doesn't matter much.

I make mine at home all the time, but I feel like the Greek versions taste much better. Plus, I like to see what combinations are popular for inspiration for my own.
 
I don't know, but I am interested. Hopefully someone will chime in.

About Greek Mountain Tea?

Last time I was in Greece, I brought back some Greek mountain tea (Tsai tou vounou) and absolutely love the taste. It’s light, herbal, and feels incredibly soothing. I’ve been drinking it occasionally in the evenings, but now I’m curious to learn more about it as an herb.

I’ve read that it’s popular for its health benefits, like boosting the immune system and helping with digestion. Does anyone have more insight into what makes it so special? Are there any traditional ways to prepare it to really bring out its flavor or maximize its benefits?

Also, if anyone knows whether it’s okay to drink it daily or has other creative ideas for using it (besides tea), I’d love to hear your tips. Thank you!

Greek generosity

I was shopping in my favourite supermarket near my apartment this morning .It was the name day of a member of staff .From a box He offered me a choice of cream cake .I was so grateful .

Dinner party featuring meze

I’m planning a holiday dinner party for my friend group, and I want to make it memorable. I’ve been thinking of doing a sit-down style dinner with Greek meze as the main theme. I love the idea of offering a variety of small dishes so everyone can try a bit of everything, but I’m not sure where to start!

What do you think of this idea? Does meze work well for a more formal sit-down setting, or is it better suited for casual gatherings? I’d also love suggestions for what to serve. I’m thinking of classics like tzatziki, hummus, dolmades, and spanakopita, but I’d like to include a few standout dishes that will really impress. Should I include a main dish like lamb or grilled fish, or keep it all small plates? Thanks in advance!

Favorite Greek Winter Meals?

I’ve been craving warm, hearty Greek dishes to enjoy during these chilly winter days. My absolute favorite is pastitsio—the layers of pasta, meat sauce, and creamy béchamel are pure comfort food! But let’s be honest, it can be quite time-consuming to make.

I’m looking for other Greek winter meal ideas that are just as satisfying but maybe a little quicker or easier to prepare. Do you have any go-to recipes for cold weather? Soups, stews, or baked dishes? Bonus points for recipes that bring those classic Greek flavors!

Would love to hear what’s cooking in your kitchen this winter. Let’s swap ideas and keep cozy with some delicious food! 😊

Favorite way to have your gyros?

I am taking a poll and this is a much debated topic in my circle. How do you like your gyros? I like to make them at home because I can't always get to Greece to have them done right.

How I like mine:

- The correct pita bread, which is hard to find. I tried making it and it wasn't a good experience (I am not great with bread making).
- The meat I prefer are the pork gyros - but I will eat the chicken kind.
- Definitely have to have tzatziki
- Definitely chopped onion and tomato

Every now and then I will get one in Greece with fries in it. I like it but won't do this step at home. Too much work and I don't like it enough...
