This looks spectacular - nice job! I love how the top has a delicious, caramelized look.

This looks fantastic! For me, pastitso is all about he Krema - it is tricky to get it right. It looks like you have gotten it right!!! When my yiayia passed away, "the touch" that she had with the Krema passed with her. I feel like we are finally close to replicating.
Oh no! My favorite is when it's spiced with cinnamon. For me, this is the fun of Greek cooking. There are so many different variations!This looks delicious...unless it has cinnamon and cloves in which case I'm out

Just go by a box of bechamel at the store and you'll have a nice cream.

I didn't know you can buy boxed béchamel, do you just add milk/water?

You just add milk.
My wife uses this one when she makes pastitsio (she's from Greece), but don't buy it for $13 because that's an outrageous price - it usually sells for about $3.50.... You should go to a local international store and look to see if they have anything.
Good point! I like to buy European versions of the mix at Greek supermarkets

I've recently embarked on a culinary quest to explore the rich and diverse world of Greek cheeses. From the tangy feta found in traditional Greek salads to the sizzling delights of halloumi, Greece's cheese culture seems incredibly vast and flavorful. 
I'm reaching out to this knowledgeable community to ask: What are the most famous Greek cheeses that you've tried or heard of?
Are there any particular varieties that are a must-try or any hidden gems that rarely escape the borders of Greece? And if you have any delicious recipes or pairings to share, I'd love to hear about those too!
