Probably one of Greece’s most famous culinary triumphs these vine leaves stuffed with rice, pine nuts and herbs are usually served with fresh, tangy yoghurt and due to their supreme ‘eatability’ don’t last long.
2. Grilled Octopus
The Greek Islands are arguably the best place in the world to savour char grilled octopus. Nothing beats freshly caught seafood, teemed with a cool beer and a golden sunset.
3. Horiatiki Salata
Known as Greek Salad in the English-speaking world, the combination of olives, cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, feta, olive oil and oregano shows that the simple flavours are often the best.
4. Mezedes
These small plates of vegetables, cheese, olives, dips and peppers are typically served before meals and are a perfect, light starter to a meal.
5. Fried Calamari
Known as Kalamarakia Tiganita to Greeks, this quick and simple deep fried delicacy is best served simple – with a slice of lemon and an amazing view!
6. Kleftiko
This slow-baked lamb dish features the mouth-watering flavours of garlic and lemon. The cooking method ensures that the meat falls off the bone to create a tender masterpiece.
7. Moussaka
This classic Greek dish of layered eggplant, spiced meat and creamy sauce is delicious, decadent and delectable.
8. Loukoumades
Sweet tooths shouldn’t miss these deep fried doughy treats! Soaked in a sugary syrup or honey and cinnamon, they are small but simply sensational.

A favourite with vegetarians, this dish of layered filo pastry, feta cheese and spinach is filling and flavoursome.
10. Yiros
For a cheap and tasty meal, head to a yiros cart to choose from tender, grilled beef, chicken, lamb or pork yiros. This popular hangover cure consists of oily meat, wrapped in bread with salad and tzadziki and could possibly be one of the best examples of fast food in the world.
