The most common desserts served at traditional Greek weddings include the "pasteli" - a sesame seed and honey bar which on some islands like Andros is served on a lemon tree leaf, and "diples" or known on Crete as "xerotigana", which are puff-like pastries dipped in honey and covered with nuts.

As a sort of thank you, they give small sweets called koufeta

We serve kourabedies at our family weddings. I have seen all kinds of things, though, like baklava and koulourakia.Are there any desserts that are specific to Greek weddings? I’m going to a Greek wedding this summer and I would love to know waht tasty treats are on the menu so I know what to look forward to!

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?
