Greek food and cook, being based on the mediterranean diet, is very close to the italian cuisine (with some differences). Also in Greece you can easily find many dishes containing oil of olive and spices like mint, rosemary, oregano and thyme dressing fish and vegetables.

It's an age-old cooking excelling in tradition and quality with its 25 Centuries.

The greek "souvlaki" it's surely the most famous food, the "pita" one, dressing various sauces, it's without any doubt unique!
The same for the "gyros pita".
It's roast pork served with tomatoes, chips, onions, tzatziki (that is a sauce of cucumbers, garlic and yoghurt) and a flat unleavened bread called "pita".

Among greek specialities it's worth including: moussaka, pastiso, souvlaki (fish or meat kebab), kokoretsi, ghiouvetsi, keftedes, dolmades (a roll of grapevine leaves), kalamarakia, grilled octopus and shrimps, sword fish, ect.

Among world famous greek sauces and yoghurts we recommend: tzatziki, skordalià, taramosalata, melitzanosalata, etc.
We suggest you to try these sauces as starters with black olives, pickles, anchovies, salami, rice or minced meat roll ... in one word the "mezedes" appetizer.

Greek cheese: feta, kasseri, manouri, ladotiri, chloro, metsovone, yaourti (better known as the greek yoghurt).
