I lived in Greece in the early 90s. My late husband and I loved it .We were there for 2yrs. The food was authentic and awesome. The people are the nicest you could ever meet. I have so many fond memories of Greece. In my next life I want to be Greek.

The bakery is called BYZANTION and the name derives from the Byzantine Empire. They didnt have Vyzation back then.

Just a little clarification, moussaka is not topped with cheese it's topped with bechamel. And if you want to compare something greek to lasagna use pasticcio which is pasta and meat sauce topped woth bechamel.

You should try saganaki with honey and sesame seeds. Not just the plain one. You gonna fall in love

Athens has a lot of bakeries and BYZANTION (pronounced Vizándion) is one worth visiting for its quality, artisanal products as you saw. The second bakery you visited is in fact a chain (Apollónion) and that sign with the words is not its name but the products it sells: Bread, Sweets, Croissant, Coffee.

Where are you going to stool;

The "koulouri", is baked, dry circular bread with sesame. It is consumed with cheese/olives as a snack or accompanies coffee/tea instead of cookies. The one in the video is rubbish, not Greek, with a lot of calories. Greek yogurt MUST be made of sheep/goat milk (as feta cheese). When cooled, there is a skin formed on top. All other milks may produce yogurts but not GREEK YOGURT. In Greece one should ASK for original Greek yogurt else one eats a cow milk product.

Please next time ask the locals how the words are pronounced. Friendly tip. 🙃

The Culinary Letdown: A Californian Quest for Gourmet in Greece: When our food-obsessed group, proudly wearing our Californian foodie badges, decided to embark on a culinary journey to Athens, our spirits were as high as the ancient Acropolis. The land that gifted the world democracy surely had a plethora of flavors awaiting us. Instead, we were met with a flavor plateau that left us yearning for more. The perpetual offering of souvlakis with unapologetically stale bread became a predictable fixture of our Athenian dining experience. The red and green bell peppers dolmas, while vibrant on the plate, echoed a monotonous tone on our palates. We couldn't help but wonder: Where was the fresh baked bread warm from the hearth? Or the comforting embrace of a hot soup or the gentle warmth of a well-brewed tea? Aspects that should have been staples in such a storied land. Ironically, back in the Golden State, our local Whole Foods flaunts an olive bar that is reminiscent of a mini Mediterranean festival. Yet, in Athens, supermarkets seemed to treat olives with casual indifference, limiting their variety and essence. Having explored more than 80 establishments across mainland Greece and its islands, our enthusiasm began to wane. We found ourselves booking a hasty weekend retreat to the gastronomic haven of Antalya, Turkey. And what a relief that was! Turkey, with its rich culinary canvas, proved to be a stark contrast. The food was not just food - it was art, it was a story, it was, dare we say, seductive
