Thanks for recommending. My experience was the food in Athens is so great that I enjoyed every single place that I have tried, including those small shops that are not well known. The famous place that you recommended for loukoumades only sells them in boxes of 10 which can be too much for one or two persons. I like loukoumades but I cannot eat that many. I managed to find another place in Koukaki which you can order one or two pieces, the place was called Tzatzos.
Yes! It was a lot for me as well. I really wanted to go here since I read really good reviews online and most of the locals recommended it as well. Thanks for your tip about Tzatzos, I will have to try it out next time I return to Athens. Thanks for watching! 👍
Happy beginning of the week Giseli 😃 Everything looks so delicious there 😋 especially all the Gyros you try 3:30 Good deal on the price 🤑 All the desserts 🍨 looks mighty tasty 6:3710:32 Thanks for sharing 4th thumbs up 👍 BTW I never been to a restaurant like that before, anyway sounds great! Free desserts there! 😊
Thanks! For most of the street videos like these I used my iPhone 14 Pro! I also have a Canon digital camera i use to record sometimes 👍 Thanks for watching!! 👍👍
It was so good! Cant wait to go back one day. Thanks for watching! If you didn't see my other Greece videos check the playlist here: ruclips.net/p/PLmI7fqr8ISMfyUvOGSzOwvrEfys2YkWrU
baklava was first created in ancient Greece, which spread with the Romans and Byzantines there are ancient Greek writings that mention it, such as the Dinner Sophists of Athens with the name,,kataplakus,,
What I was eating here in the video was what the locals refer to as gyros! If you say this when ordering they will know what you mean 😊👍 Thanks for watching!
@@GiseliRodas no worries ...and btw if you want a Kalamaki wrapped in pita and not by itself you say "one Pita Kalamaki" as opposed to "one Pita Gyros/ one Gyros".
my greek experience was not so great. While the greek food does appear nice, it is extremely greasy and high in calories. Plus, the cost of food was exorbitant unless i ate the cheap veggie gyros...Athens does get hot and humid and is congested...being a vegetarian, my choices were limited everywhere i went tks ...
With all due respect, that is absolutely not what you said. Go back to 7:24 and you will hear yourself say balakava. Please don't even try, I am fully Greek and I know what my ears heatd. It's okay that you mispronounced it, but it's not okay to lie in your comments. If you don't want anybody commenting, then just turn off the comment section.@@GiseliRodas
As a Greek, I will write a few negative comments which you will not like. sorry ! You simple do not know Greek Food ! 01:29 - Gyros is such a well-known street-food you are not telling us anything new. You get that in all places where there are Greeks. - It is best to take the french fries separate as they cover the tasteof the lamp or chicken. 02:47 - Thanasis Restaurant is not something special, it is located in a good place for sure and is the classic 'tourist trap'. The food is ok but nothing to write home about ! 09:36 - Loukoumades is also a well-known stret food ... Nothing new abou it ! 12:10 - A Greek salad is nothing new, you get it in all corners of the globe, It is overpriced because of the demand! `We call it Choriatiki (Vilager's salad) and not Greek Salad, Only the tourists call it 'Greek salad' 12:14 - Mousaka in restaurants is not good! Why, They use beef and not lamb meet and also add bread crums to create volume ! 12:29 - Those drinks are not Tequilas, The clear drink is 'Rakki' (made frm grapes after the grape juice is extracted to make wine.). The yellow is Limoncello which is Italian drink and not Greek at all. --------------------------- So you ask ! If you are so critical, why not make some proposotions for restaurants ! Here is my listing ! - Stani for Breakfast, Since 1932 - O Theios Mathaios, best lamb Souvlaki - Klimataria Taverna (Psyri) Lamb with potates, baked on waxed paper, Great Moussaka, Live music on weekends - Bougatsadiko, Psyri, Thesaloniki style bougatsa with cream - it is very good !

Is it gyros or souvlaki?
What I was eating here in the video was what the locals refer to as gyros!
If you say this when ordering they will know what you mean 😊👍
Thanks for watching!
Souvlaki is the general name of the dish. Gyros is the souvlaki with the "shaved" meat. Kalamaki is the souvlaki with the pieces of meat.
There you go! Thanks!
@@GiseliRodas no worries ...and btw if you want a Kalamaki wrapped in pita and not by itself you say "one Pita Kalamaki" as opposed to "one Pita Gyros/ one Gyros".
@@georgek5737 Good to know for when I go back! Thanks!
Wish you had mentioned all the names of places you ate at 😔
I tried to mention most of them but is there a specific one you would like to know more about?
@@GiseliRodasWhat's the name of the bakery where you had baklava and orange cake? Thanks!
@@WifeyandRinChicago It is this place; Artisan Bakery
@@GiseliRodas Thanks. I figured it out - it's Ariston bakery.

...
Yes! I noticed this too. Some of the prices were higher in some places compared to others.
Thanks so much for watching!👍
Because this phenomenon is global after COVID period
Not balakava....baklava.
Yes, that is what I said 😎

Sorry but the first one is a not
It is, the food was really good and they provided friendly service.
But thanks for watching! 👍
@GiseliRodas as a local I know that
If you know of any, I would love to know some other good places to eat when I go back! :)
As a Greek, I will write a few negative comments which you will not like. sorry ! You simple do not know Greek Food !
01:29 - Gyros is such a well-known street-food you are not telling us anything new. You get that in all places where there are Greeks.

---------------------------
So you ask ! If you are so critical, why not make some proposotions for restaurants ! Here is my listing !
- Stani for Breakfast, Since 1932
- O Theios Mathaios, best lamb Souvlaki
- Klimataria Taverna (Psyri) Lamb with potates, baked on waxed paper, Great Moussaka, Live music on weekends
- Bougatsadiko, Psyri, Thesaloniki style bougatsa with cream - it is very good !
Thank you so much for watching and for the feedback. This was my first time in Greece and I had a great time. I will definitely check out the places you suggested on my next trip to Greece. Have a great day!
It’s not BAKALAVA it’s BAKLAVA!!!
Yup!
Every single spot was a tourist trap location... You didn't eat any real Greek food. Same stuff you can get on the streets of London 😂
Not really, the Greek food here is obviously better then what you can find in London.
Thanks for watching! 😊
