EAT BREAKFAST LIKE A GREEK

There is no better waking-up than a good breakfast with a view to the Ionian or Aegean Sea. If you lack the view, maybe you can enjoy at least the Greek tastes. The Greek traditional products may create a tasty breakfast which will give you energy and bring you in a good mood, either on holiday or not! There is nothing better than hot bread, traditional marmalade, pies of every sort, herbal drinks and of course Greek coffee. Nice smells and tastes for a rich breakfast, all coming from the Greek traditional cuisine.

Yogurt with honey and fresh fruit

Greek yogurt is known for more than its creamy texture, quality, and flavors… it’s also appreciated for its probiotic qualities. Rather than purchase overly sweet yogurts for breakfast, try a healthy Greek yogurt, instead. Just add a drizzle of natural honey and top it off with fresh fruit. Perfection.

 

Spanakopita

Who does not love Spanakopita? But remember, it’s not just for lunch and dinner. Why not warm a slice of a traditional Greek feta & spinach pie with filo pastry and serve it on a plate with your morning glass of grapefruit juice? It is a great alternative to the everyday breakfasts you’re likely tired of eating.

 

Koulouri Thessalonikis

These delicious Greek bread rings covered with toasted sesame seeds are definitely the most popular street food one can find in Greece. The koulouri dates back to the Byzantine Empire and was associated mainly with the cities of Constantinople and Thessaloniki! Traditional Greek sesame-crusted bread rings can be served with either sweet or savoury accompaniments.

 

 

Fresh fruits

This one is a no-brainer, traditional Greek breakfast. Healthy, delicious, and readily available at any supermarket, Fresh fruit is a staple in the Mediterranean diet. So, how about sitting down, with your morning coffee, before a platter of freshly sliced seasonal fruit?

 

Staka

Is a simple Cretan dish consisting of poached or fried eggs and local staka (a type of buttery cream mixed with flour). The combination is usually seasoned with salt and pepper, and it is typically enjoyed warm for breakfast.
