| pita slouvaki |
While we have been traveling in Greece we have been trying different desserts and foods. One of our favorite foods is a chicken pita slouvaki. A slouvaki is a pita bread wrap usually filled with meat, french fries, tzatziki (yogurt and herbs), onions and tomatoes. Lots of times the meat is a kebab or gyro. A kebab is usually chicken or pork grilled on a stick and for the gyro the meat gets cooked on a rotisserie then it is shaved off into thin slices. We first had a slouvaki in Athens then we have tried it ever since. Today we had our best one in Oia on Santorini.
Greeks like their desserts at least we think so because there are so many pastry shops. We first discovered big pastry shops when we were in Nafplio. Now it is our treat to stop at pastry shops in the different towns we visit. One of my favorite pastries is the Greek Kok. The Greek Kok is like a sponge cake sandwich with cream in between cakes and topped with chocolate.
We have also been cooking a lot at our apartments. In Chania we got oranges from our host's farm and made orange juice and it was pretty good. We have also been eating lots of feta cheese - I love the feta cheese.
