Restaurants in Greece

Greek food is some of the best in the world. The best saganaki (fried cheese) and tzatziki (a cucumber yougurt sauce) are found in Athens Greece and on the Greek islands. No meal would be complete without an authentic Greek salad containing cucumbers, fresh tomatoes, oil and feta cheese.



Some of the best restaurants in Athens Greece include Zorba's Restaurant in the Plaka and Vitro with views of the Acropolis. Some of the best and most famous restaurants on Santorini include Selene in Fira and Oia's Cafe in Oia. Both are one of the best places to catch a sunset along with dinner on the famous island of Sanrorini. The best and most famous restaurants on Mykonos include the restaurants of "Little Vencie" and Alexis in Paradise Beach. Be sure to check out the nightlife of Mykonos.

The Plaka in Athens (Piraeus) one of the major tourist centers in all of Greece. There are terrific restaurants and bars in this area as well. The food, drink and people watching is incomparable. Some restaurants that are worth a try include Kouklis where Tripodon, (the road that goes around the Plaka side of the Acropolis) connects with Epiharmou. This ouzerie is packed with people on balconies looking over the road. The specialty is Greek flaming sausages called lukaniko. Kouklis is populare with young Greeks and tourists who are not 'tourists.'

Kafeneon an ouzerie near Kouklis on Epiharmou street. The prices are nearly the same as Kouklis but the menu is a bit better. The ouzo is all the same. If you are sitting on the street, be careful as the grade is steep and a chair or two have been known to fall over. Be sure to come by in the winter for a tasty tsipuro.

I want a gyro so bad right now. I love the Greek salad in Greece. No lettuce, just cucumber, tomato, onion, feta and dressing with basil. My mouth is watering for Greek food.
