Easy Greek Breakfast Options

[d_kakavouli]

I am staying in an Airbnb while in Greece and I am not a huge breakfast eater anyway... I am curious ... what do Greeks eat for breakfast? I was thinking of buying a few things and eating breakfast in the rental, and then eat the rest of my meals while I am out and about.

I was thinking of buying some snacks, too. I was thinking of getting some fruit, yogurt, bread, maybe some cheese? I know I can always grab something fast on the street, like a tiro pita, but some of the mornings I might be taking a tour so would want to have food I can just grab or eat quick.

Locals often grab a Koulouri (a popular sesame seed ring bread) and a coffee for breakfast. If you’re having yogurt, be sure to pick up some peaches and honey. Greeks might prefer a more savory breakfast of olives, tomatoes, cheese and bread. You’re smart to eat light for breakfast. Full breakfast is a tourist offering and you’ll be so tempted by the traditional food available throughout the day and evening.

I totally agree with this! I love eating a light breakfast when in Greece so I can enjoy all the great and yummy foods throughout the day. I usually keep it simple - break or koulouri, cheese, olives... definitely coffee!
