Where to begin LOL!
Here are some that I would include if having a party and want some Greek mezze: Dolmades (Stuffed Grape Leaves), Tiropira, Spanakopita (really any pita
). Although many would include dolmades as a main dish, I think it could work as an appetizer or mezze.

Thanks, I wouldn't even think to include dolmades as an appetizer either! Do you make them yourself? Or do you buy them canned?Where to begin LOL!

I’m sure you know of the classics like babaghanoush, tzatziki, olive spread, pita bread and that type of stuff. I love adding hummus and spinach/artichoke dip. It’s not traditionally Greek, but I love it!

My favorite is to serve spanakopita because it is always a show stopper. I also like to make a hummus dip where I take hummus and top it with feta cheese, chopped tomatoes, Greek olives, a sprinkling of oregano. It's an easy way to elevate store bought hummus, and it tastes great when served with pita chips.
Those are great ones!!!! Thanks!

I’m more of a meat guy so when I make mezze I like to add smaller peices of meat like cut up loukaniko (sausage) or skewers of grilled chicken. It’s nice to eat with pita bread and any of the dips, anything can really become mezze when its plated on little dishes. Good luck!

I have learned so much about Greek cuisine by being on this forum! I know that there are standard recipes that everyone seems to cook.
For example, you can get souvlaki all over. Everyone seems to serve a village salad with slight variations. Most regions seem to make moussaka. There are tons of others.
I have also noticed that each region has their own specialties. How do you go about learning about them?

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!
