Greece Travel Guide: Must-Try Local Eats 🇬🇷🍴

Athens Highlights 1️⃣ Old Omonoia Our first Athens meal was a Google Maps gamble that paid off! Omonoia Salad: A signature mix of greens, candied pears, tangy dressing, cheese, and ham. Spaghetti Bolognese: Rich meat sauce piled high—comfort food done right. Grilled Meat Platter: Show the waiter a Google photo for this combo of juicy skewers, sliced meats, and fluffy flatbread. Vibe: Warm service, hearty portions, ~€20 per person. We loved it so much we ordered takeout on our last night! 2️⃣ Stani Athens’ legendary yogurt spot—don’t miss the sheep’s milk magic! Yogurt with Honey & Walnuts: Creamy, tangy, sweet perfection. “Golden Thread Rolls”: Flaky pastry layered with sheep’s milk cream—boldly sweet and rich. Napoleon Cake: Crispy layers with cloud-like filling. Note: Strong sheep’s milk flavor; skip if sensitive to sweetness or gaminess. ~€10/person. Santorini Food Adventures 1️⃣ Oia Cliffside Restaurant Off-season perks (November visit = easy window seats, but bring a hair tie—winds are wild!). Green Salad: Fresh and zesty. Mousaka: Greece’s iconic eggplant-meat bake. Seafood Pasta & Risotto: Both stellar, but Oia prices sting (~€30-40/person). 2️⃣ Fira Breakfast Spot No-frills bakery for giant pastries: Jumbo Croissant (€2.50!) and other carbs. Grab-and-go only—no seating. 3️⃣ Triana Taverna A gem with Santorini flavors at half-Oia prices! Santoriana Salad: Bursting with local produce. Mousaka (Oia vs. Triana edition—try both!). Crispy Baby Squid & Seafood Pasta: Flawless execution. Vibe: Friendly staff, Chinese-translated tea menu, ~€20-25/person (drinks included!). Tips Island Pricing: Oia’s tourist markup is real, but quality rarely disappoints. Tipping: Servers may ask if you’d like to add a tip (card machines let you input custom amounts). No pressure—do what feels right! #GreekFoodJourney #AthensEats #SantoriniDining #TravelOnAPlate #HiddenGreekGems
