Do Greeks take breakfast seriously? I heard from some friends that many Greeks do eat brunch, but that seems more like a once in a while thing. What do Greeks eat for breakfast on a regular basis? I have observed all kinds of things, from nothing to maybe a tiro pita or something bought on the street, washed down with a Greek coffee. Also, I have seen people eat fruit and nothing else for breakfast.

Breakfast is definitely not as popular as mesimeriano (lunch) is in Greece. With that being said, we do like to eat breakfast. Some popular options are:
Koulouri thesalonikis
Tiropita
Spanakopita
Auta tiganita (fried eggs)
Omlete
Tsoureki
Keik (cake)
Bread with honey Or marmalade

When I was in Greece I ate a lot of fruit and cheese fr breakfast. Sometimes I would grab a tiro pita somewhere on the street. I wonder if it is my Greek DNA but I am not a huge breakfast person! I did enjoy brunch once when I was in Greece and there were omelets, fried eggs, different cakes, tiro pita, olives, cheese, some fruit - in the spread. It was yummy!

One of the things I love most about Greek honey is its versatility. You can use it in so many different ways in the kitchen. I've drizzled it over Greek yogurt for breakfast, mixed it into salad dressings for a touch of sweetness, and even used it as a glaze for roasted vegetables. The depth of flavor it adds to dishes is truly remarkable.
But perhaps my favorite way to use Greek honey is in baking. It adds a wonderful depth of flavor to cakes, cookies, and pastries. I recently made a batch of baklava using Greek honey, and it was a game-changer. The honey soaked into the layers of phyllo dough, creating a sweet and sticky treat that was absolutely irresistible.
I go out of my way to buy it - if I can't find it locally, I get it online. When I go to Greece, I get some in Greece, too.

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!
