Gyros, one of the world's best street foods!!! If you have been to Greece, then you have tried it - if you haven't been to Greece then you have heard of it; gyros is the worldwide popular Greek fast food dish and a staple in the Greek cuisine.
In general, gyros consist of juicy meat (pork or chicken) roasted on a rotating rotisserie, chopped flavorful tomatoes and onions, crispy fries and tzatziki sauce. These ingredients are wraped in a fluffy and warm pita bread, and eatan hand-held. Gyros can be found at both simple grills and fine-dining restaurants. Gyros is cheap, and thus the perfect option if you are on a budget. Prices are given in order to somewhat provide you with an answer to "how expensive is Athens?"
Lastly, Athens is very historic and there are an abundance of attractions to see and experience. However, Greek food is probably the most important one ;)
In this episode, you are joining me for the ultimate gyros tour in Athens. So, if you are planning to visit the capital city of Greece, then here is where you find the best gyros.

When you are good looking, you get treated much differently in a good way. That's because beauty is a trait of health which we are all unconsciously seeking and when we see it, we respect it.

This is one of the best souvlaki tours in Greece I've seen on you tube...great job. One thing:never order chicken. As a purist (bc souvlaki it's my fav food in the world) I never get chicken bc it's not traditional. Pork kebab mpifteki it's traditional and gyros of course. Cheers💙🇬🇷

@@kokovaleto you can disagree but it's not traditional at all. Καλαμακι και μπιφτεκι was the only things souvlatzidika had originally unless you wanted kebabs then you went to a kebab shop. Tzatziki and pork only. No chicken no lettuce no "Σως" in the authentic one. If you're Greek like you're saying then you would know. Unless you're young then you won't.

They put mustard n ketchup in the gyros!!! A bigger crime!!🤣 And as you know these days they put in λουκανικα etc...they even have vegan lol (horrible).

@@thestreetfoodconnoisseur I'm from the UK, but my girlfriend is Athenian and I'm lucky enough to spend a couple of months there each year. I have to say I'm a big fan of Kosta - they use their own smokey tomato sauce instead of tzatziki, which is a game changer once you've had it. I've also been to a few of the places on your list and they are also great. Honestly, I think it is pretty hard to go wrong with gyro and souvlaki a lot of the time.
