  • Red Pepper Sauce - A mildly spicy dish traditionally prepared with red peppers originating from Florina, a city located in Northern Greece.

  • Olive Pasta - From Koroneiki and Kalamata, to Megaritiki and Throuba, Greece is home to a great abundance of olive tree varieties.

  • Spinach Pie - A trademark of Greece’s rural culture, this is a savory pie where spinach, feta, olive oil and herbs are baked in a golden, crispy phyllo dough.

  • Pumpkin Pie - Although pumpkins are rarely associated with the Greek cuisine, this dish combines the natural sweetness of pumpkin with the salty feta cheese.

  • Lettuce Pie - Lettuce, which is grown outdoors throughout the year, mainly from early Autumn to late Spring, is an integral element of many Greek dishes.

  • Orange Pie - Also called Portokalopita this uniquely designed sweet combines phyllo pastry with orange juice and zest, accompanied by sugar, eggs and milk.

  • Milopita - The Greek version of apple pie with cinnamon, halfway between a soft cake dough and a pastry.

Greek hospitality at its best - Lovely experience, with a very warm host! All dishes were delicious , very nicely served and came in good portions. The kneading of phyllo and bread was interesting and learnt a few tips I ignored! I especially loved Paulina's table and home decorations, with lots of traditional elements, for which Mrs Effie , was more than eager to share their story. Hope to see the hosts again in Paros!
