    Next time exploring gastronomy tour don't forget to mention that Greeks we love and have one of the most complete and delightful fish cousines. There are no many fish restaurants in the touristic centre but surely there are plenty across the city regions especially in the riviera from Piraeus and Glyfada all the way down to Cape Sounio! We love fish, fried or grilled!

    Can be an unpopular opinion as a Greek, but the touristic center is my 2nd favorite area of Athens after Pireaus. I due to its historicity and its touristic nature, you can find literally anything you want within 15 minutes of walking. So much variety can not be found easily in most areas. Plus GREAT cafeterias.

It’s such a big country, it can be hard to decide where to go, but the Great Lakes are absolutely beautiful in the summer!

Although it's a long shot, I hope you can tell me (Max or Sid, or any viewer who might recognize it) what is the name of the bouzouki intrumental song that starts at about the 7'55" point in your video. It is amazing and since I also play the bouzouki (just a little though) I would love to hear this amazing song!!

    What you don't like in "Greek yoghurt" is fat-free yoghurt. That's where the chalkiness comes in. The real thing, called strangisto in Greece, is a strained full-fat yoghurt. After straining, it comes in around usually 9 to 11% milk fat. The real thing also doesn't use any fake thickeners like guar gum, gelatin, or carrageenan. Bon appetit! Kali Oreksi!

    I hope you head to a super market and buy a small jar or pot full of masticha made in Chios. It's not a sweet easily eaten cause its kind of tough caramel but so unique flavor I am sure you will buy a second one to take it back with you. We as kids used to call it the sub because it was served by our moms to a tea spoon into a glass filled with cold water. So as I described the taste is sinful and the main ingredient the resin is only produced in Chios but it's established to many Greek sweets and it's found after extensive research that is excellent for the stomach and it is also an anticarcigenic substance.

You can find gums with masticha named ΕΛΜΑ or pure pieces of resin to almost all the little kiosks that you can find in Athens or Pireas. I strongly recommend to buy the resin and try it with a glass of hot milk by crushing a couple of chunks or it can be added to your coffee especially if you drink it hot. It adds superb taste to it.

    As an Athenian, I've never been to almost all of those "must-go" places all these videos recommend. I know some of the history behind SOME, but it's not something my friends and I are crazy about. Not once we said: Dude, lets go order some souvlakia from "X" restaurant downtown Athens, because they are the best. There are, for sure, some classic shops that have been there since before my dad was born, but food is good whenever I go. The tourist spots just have more gimmicks. Edit: I was told that food is actually better outside the Athens center. Can't compare, I eat in the suburbs.

    no local eats at those places! They're not bad places by any means, and if you like what you see in the video, I do not advise not going, their ingredients are fresh and you'll have a good meal. Just know that it's touristy and you are probably paying more than you should. For a full greek meal, i'd suggest the tavern across the "serbetia" at psurri, it's 3 minutes of walking from thanasis.

    Despite Greek food being really good, I feel its very poorly represented internationally. Its very very hard to find proper Greek food outside Greece. When I was in the US whenever I found a Greek restaurant they used to serve me a portion with rice, a stick with chicken or some other meat and a little bit of tzatziki which was served hard as stone. After 3-4 times of the same experience in multiple countries I stopped visiting Greek cuisine restaurants outside Greece.

    @@elenij3781 from Wikipedia; Yogurt (UK: /ˈjɒɡərt/; US: /ˈjoʊɡərt/,[1] from Ottoman Turkish: یوغورت, romanized: yoğurt;[a] also spelled yoghurt, yogourt or yoghourt) is a food produced by bacterial fermentation of milk.[2] The word for yogurt is derived from the Ottoman Turkish: یوغورت, romanized: yoğurt,[6] and is usually related to the verb yoğurmak, "to knead", or "to be curdled or coagulated; to thicken".[6] It may be related to yoğun, meaning thick or dense. The sounds historically represented by the Arabic letter ghayn in the Turkish language ranging from a voiced velar fricative to a voiced velar plosive were traditionally romanised as "gh" prior to the introduction of a new Latin-based Turkish alphabet and the letter "ğ" in 1929, thus "yoghurt" spelled with a "gh" is first attested in sources from 1615-1625.[6][7][8]Analysis of the L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus genome indicates that the bacterium may have originated on the surface of a plant.[10] Milk may have become spontaneously and unintentionally exposed to it through contact with plants, or bacteria may have been transferred from the udder of domestic milk-producing animals.[11] The origins of yogurt are unknown but it was probably discovered first by Neolithic people in Central Asia and Mesopotamia around 5000 BC, when the first milk-producing animals were domesticated. They most likely found out how to ferment milk by chance and in all likelihood, yogurt was discovered independently in this way in many different places at different times
