- Greek food you must try! Athens food. I tried traditional Greek desserts in Athens Greece! One was AMAZING! I try to find out what kind of desserts Greeks enjoy the most in this video. I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you for watching!
Istanbul used to be called Constantinopel less than 100 years ago. Hundreds of thousands off Greeks had to move from what you are today are calling Turkey. These areas have Greek origin , the Turks came much later. The asia minor Greeks brought their traiditions with them to mainland Greece when they fled the area. There was nothing called Turkey at the time.
Interesting facts. I didn't know this. Thank you Peter.
@@EvanRamani Bougatsa isn't From Turkey exactly. It made by Greeks that use to live there before the Turks starting to killing them and took their lands because they were Christians. The Greeks that left Constantinople they brought in Greece many of their recipes
@@georgekoul do you know if Ephesus was originally apart of Greece as well?
Πεστα μεγάλε και ο καφές είναι αραβικός και όχι τουρκικος οι Αλβανοί μας κλέψανε τα μελομακάρονα λένε στους τουρίστες ότι είναι Αλβανικό γλυκο
My friend all of these sweets originate from Byzantine times some even far more old. The first description of man converting milk to cheese yogurt and butter is made in Homer’s Ulesses story where Ulesses and his men explored the cave of Cyclops and Homer describes the Cyclops to extract milk from his sheep and goats and making from it cheese (white propably feta) yogurt and butter. The custard is made exclusively with milk, corn flower, vanilla, sugar which they extracted from honey. Also the syrup is made from honey.
that is so awesome! I feel like i missed so much in Greece even though I did so much there. Truly an amazing country.
Love the vid on desserts from different countries. We tried this pastry filled with sweet creme and topped with slivers of almonds in Corfu. Each bite just melted in your mouth, it was divine!! Found something similar here at AJ's Purveyor of Fine Foods, they call it Jesuits. It brings me back to Corfu briefly:)
Thank you! It sounds amazing. Finding new ones is always fun!
You are a very educated person, with excellent manners and you do such a nice culture exploring! I just wanted to add that sweets like galaktoboureko, for example, are connected to the culture contact Greece had with Anatolia, in general, and of course under the 400 year occupation of the Ottoman Empire. These are Anatolian goods, not specifically turkish or greek, that is why whole regions in the East share them. As for the differences in the making process between the two countries are not that significant; same recipe with slight differences I would say. For us, Greeks, it was an addition to our culture!
Thank you Despina! I didn't know that. Thank you so much for the very interesting information!
Not really, Galaktoboureko is a modern Greek sweet
@@aokiaoki4238 Actually, I was thinking that the filling of galaktoboureko is similar with ancient greek galaktopita . But the "fyllo" which is covered is not an anatolian thing?
If you want to eat bougatsa my friend you will go either to Northern Greece or to Crete....and when they ask you If you want sugar in the bougatsa you will say yes😄
Greece is so beautiful! I didn't go to Northern Greece but went to Patra and it was mind blowing. Crete was beautiful as well!
Greek cuisine is the best of europe ! Combining east and west to perfection.
Also the ingredients are plenty and pure.
Next time try Tsoureki with butter and honey. Best breakfast (or dessert) !
Bougatsa Without cinnamon? No icing sugar? Next time try it in Thessaloniki or Serres
Yea, i heard it is way better in Thessaloniki!
Wow, everyone speak English, very nice 👍. I like baklava, delusions dessert.
Not everyone but many in the center. When i went to a different city though, almost no one spoke English lol. Athens is just way too touristy. But, delicious desserts for sure. :)
@@EvanRamani Greek who doesn't speak english? It is weird.
Nice man. Great research and good choices. If you like the simple version of tsoureki then the more modern way with praline and walnuts inside and melt chocolate on the top can be out of this world. Also believe me or not bugatsa is better with powder sugar on top and general in North Greece bugatsa is better made. Diples isn't something wow but it's nicer when you try them at the moment that are made. Ravani is a must with ice cream, portokalopita(orange cake) is really good tho and many other stuff.
I'm gonna try the orange cake and Ravani before i leave for sure. I gotta get some more Tsoureki! it is amazing! It's my favorite Greek dessert so far. Thanks for the recommendations! I've been trying different biscuits the whole time. i learned about tsoureki late! lol
Portokalopita looks very interesting, never seen something like this before. I found the recipe, gonna make it these days for sure.
@@yudzin88 Yeah it's very aromatic and tasty. Please use high quality oranges for better aroma and taste. Also we have walnuts pie/cake, milky pie, tahini pie, honey pie, peach pie etc... Any kind of pie 😂
@@Gk-ug6gu Yeah, I know, we have it too, except the tahini and orange pie. But orange pie looks very promising. I'm gonna use recipe from Akis, hope it is legit. LOL ruclips.net/video/jl1FkjHug0s/видео.html
Greetings from Serbia brother.
@@yudzin88 yea, they say that it is easier to make at home. But you should try to make Tsoureki. That one is amazing! Hopefully, you got to try it while you were here. Some shops charged a lot more for it than other shops. Weird.
It'snt exist country with the name " Macedonia " don't made BIG mistake about that...
Yeah , That‘s right! 👍🏻 🫶🏻
What is the name of that sweet minute 10:40
galaktoboureko :)
@@EvanRamani
thank you
Try tsoureki with milk dip for breakfast 😋
A bunch of people on Tiktok recommended that. It was amazing! I miss tsoureki! lol it's so delicious
@@EvanRamani If you try home made you would be stunned.

Teşekkürler! the glasses look bad but thanks. lol. hope you are doing well Hilmi!
It’s not very polite to just walk in the store and film without asking.
Ya, but they don't mind much. They're worried at first because my camera is a x3000 but 99% dont mind. They're there to meet customer's needs. The ones that tell me they don't wanna be filmed, i don't include them.
Its good Mannes to ask first
Sorry i mean manners
Baklava is a Turkish dessert
Ya, but i think they have different versions in Greece. Man, Greece was so amazing. I miss it so much! Hope to come back. I highly recommend it. Probably not during July. Too many tourists.
No it's not
BOUGATSA İN GREEK
LAZ BOREĞİ İN TÜRKİSH. FİLLED WİTH CUSTARD! İTS TÜRKİSH OFCOURSE. BUT THE GREEKS AND TÜRKS HAVE BEEN LİVİNG TOGETHER FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS! THE FOOD İS THE SAME JUST DİFFERENT NAMES.
Right, most of their dishes is Turkish but they don’t wanna accept it
@@eradgz0924 wwhat do you mean those dishes are turkish, you mean turks used to eat those kind of dishes in central asia and the stepps where they came from?
