Travel Tips for Greece Food Tours
- When it comes to choosing food tours in Greece, it can get confusing. The mantra is to follow the Greeks. Less prominent places in back alleys often have the best local food.
- Choose the raw seafood you want to eat from the iced glass case, and then ask the person at the taverna to cook it for you.
- Drinking without meze (tapas) to complement it is not really the Greek way.
- Souvlaki is the king of street food in Greece, but you must avoid the mass-produced ones and try to find the most authentic recipes.
- Do not miss out on an authentic Greek breakfast comprising pies, rusks, buns, olives, honey, cheese, feta, legumes and pastries.
