first time that i was visited greece was at 1983.i remember that i was crying and i didnt wanted to follow my parents because i was a stunborn kid. finally we went and at the end i was crying because i didnt wanted back to my country,Denmark. fun fact ,since 1994 till now i visited greece every summer for 2 months vacations.the food cant compared with any other food for me only with italian i could say but still the greek one is even better.also the land,the islands are so amazing and the people with that warm heart can share anything they have even with a stranger. if God exists then for sure He gave a grace to that nation. sagapo ellada!!

Greece is truly DIVINE food. Really. And Miser Chen has only seen not even the tip of the tip of the tip of the iceberg. Mr. chen can eat thousands of dishes of Greece and will not be done experiencing new dishes and flavors and combinational elements by the end of his life. Anyone who truly knows the Greek cuisine, will tell you: Greece has outageous rice dishes, outrageous pasta dishes, outrageous potato dishes, outrageous vegetable dishes, outrageous desserts, outrageous pulses, lentils, bean dishes, outrageous cheese dishes, outrageous fish dishes, outrageous oven dishes, outrageous meat dishes, outrageous salad dishes and so on and so on. Greek food is extremely allround and exceptional in all the ways. You can be in the Netherlands and be overthrown with potato dishes. You can be in the Netherlands and 95%+ of restaurants are utterly overblown with pasta and pizza. And when you are in Central Asia or East Asia there is mostly dominantly rice dishes. But in Greece you can find everything in extreme abundance. Literally no end

As a Greek I can't accept the nice words of course, because those people that treated you so nice are the ones that deserve it. But I would really want to say many thanks to you, for your kind words and the relax attitude (if you were treated that way, I'm sure you were a lovely person and I'm sure you would have at least talked to the owners or the people around you. That's all it takes. Talk nicely to people and you'll have a great time. DON'T BE SHY! We love people. [Nice people]) I would really want to have a beer with you, and don't worry if you don't drink.. I mean a beer sitting in a table of food. Hope Greece sees you again friend.

Cheese is sacred in Greece. We're some of the largest consumers per capita, after all. And for such a small country you can find a great variety of cheeses. Not exaggerating if I said you can find at least two different cheeses in an 100km distance, maybe more. Recently tried Arseniko (literally meaning "male") from Naxos, some of the best cheeses I've had, savoury, nutty and and amazing if fried as saganaki. Cheers everyone and enjoy Greek cuisine!

The one nice thing with Greece, and practically all of Europe, they do much better than us here in the United States, is the concept of neighborhood cafés and bakeries. All throughout Athens, every neighborhood has a slew of local eateries and bakeries and coffee shops. Practically on every corner. Something that is foreign to us in the United States. We have strip malls and big malls with food courts. But no local neighborhood places for the most part. It’s nice when you’re in Athens and you could just go out from wherever you are staying and around the corner there is a local restaurant and coffee shops and bakeries where you can sit down outside and just enjoy some food

I went to Crete on vacation for a week in 2015 and stayed in a little town near Rethymno, think it may even have been considered a suburb (Adelianos Kampos) and it was just an amazing week! Stayed in a small hotel with all inclusive and even with the food coming from a catering company, it was really good so me and my friends only dined outside the hotel once, and one lunch at a famous souvlaki place on the south part of the island during a day trip that we took, arranged by the hotel. We just didn’t feel the need to dine out during our stay, initially we went with all inclusive to save money (as in not having to budget for food every day) but we were also planning to eat outside of the hotel more, but it just did not happen because hotel food was good, simple but good! I’d love to go back because what I saw of Crete was absolutely stunning, met amazing people, the weather was absolutely lovely, very nice food and I loved the relaxed laid back atmosphere. I’m not much of a beach person as I’m terrified of jellyfish and other sea critters and find underwater currents beyond terrifying, so I prefer pools, but even I swam in the Mediterranean Sea a couple of times and it was really nice even with my uneasiness when it comes to swimming in the sea

Strongly recommend Corfu or Halkidiki next which is in the North and a lot more green. if you can come in mid-June a lot of the trees will smell nice! :)

As soon as I saw the reverence for spinach pie I knew you were in for a good food trip. Spinach pie is something most households can make relatively easily, it's celebrated across the whole country - filled with extra feta cheese or not - and most Greeks love it when its still hot-warm, right after finished baking in the oven. It's a complete meal, and if you get the taste of it you can easily eat it in industrial quantities

My favorite cuisine. The classics are awesome. Spanikopita, pastitsio, moussaka, filo pastries, saganaki, all of it. Gyro, souvlaki. Pita bread with gyro meat, tomatoes, onions, Tsatziki, the best. I see you went for my favorites as well.
