Greek Food is a lot different from all ideal food that people think about. Greek cultural is very distinct though nevertheless is still amazing. This are some of there main traditional dishes:
Baklava is the most famous Greek pastry. It is created from layers of flaky phyllo dough (available in dozens of different varieties, from butter glazed to sprinkled with nuts). Ground walnuts, pistachios or pecans are mixed with lots of honey or sugar syrup. The phyllo is built up in layers, with rivers of crushed nuts and honey oozing out the sides.
Moussaka is a famous Greek casserole with layers of vegetables, a meat sauce and custard. Eggplant and zucchini are popular choices for the vegetables, layered with garlic and meat sauce, spices and sometimes nuts, and then topped with custard.
Souvlaki, also called gyros, is famous all over the world. These come in a wide variety of styles and shapes, with lots of different ingredients. A pita is filled with beef, lamb or pork (sometimes chicken). Tomato, lettuce, red onions, olives, sprouts and other vegetables are placed on top of the meat. A tzatziki sauce (made with yogurt, cucumber and garlic) is drizzled over the souvlaki to top it off.
