    Welcome to another incredible day in Athens, Greece! We're not sure what's more amazing, the Ancient Greek sights or the incredible Greek food. Luckily we've got both in today's video where we feast on some incredible Greek taverna food and street food and also visit the breathtaking Acropolis Hill!! From gyros, kebabs and Greek donuts to museums, artifacts and ruins Athens continues to captivate both our minds and stomachs.
    Enjoy!

    the reason the parthenon is such a jigsaw puzzle is because
    in the middle ages while it was under ottoman rule, those geniuses stored their ammunition inside the parthenon,
    and the Venetians bombarded the parthenon during one of their clashes.
    So the acropolis became a Michael Bay movie.

    The pork skewer at Thanasis it's called kalamaki tylixto(means wrapped in pita loaded)

      Honestly all the places we went to in Greece all the cats were so lovely!!! Our Airbnb in Santorini had a resident cat who pretty much stayed and slept with us the whole time!! And yes our visit to the Acropolis was definitely extended by the amount of times we stopped to pet the cats 😅😅

    Love how respectful you are of Greek culture, and your pronunciation of Greek words isn't bad either! Fun fact: "gyro" means "turn", referring to the meat rotating on a spit. It's the same root where we get "gyroscope" and "gyrate". I agree that Greek pita is fantastic, always well seasoned with salt, spices, and olive oil. Gyro and pita = absolutely elite food 🤌🤌🤌

    Hey there, gyro is the shaved pork because it is cooked on a big skewer that constantly turns around (round -> gyro, e.g. gyroscope), you were trying to refer to the pita bread. What you had at "O Thanasis" was pita souvlaki (as they say in Greece) or pita kalamaki (as they say in Athens). Otherwise, excelent job at showing local homemade food a Greek person would usually eat and not just touristy food.

    • @locavore_eats
      @locavore_eats  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for correcting!! I think I kept on saying gyro throughout our visit and only realised afterwards 😆 But thank you so much for watching we had an amazing time eating all the delicious food in Athens!!

    Dear friend come in Thessaloniki and Chalkidiki coast in northern Greece to eat. The tastes are better than these in Athens. In Athens they don't know anything about good food. Try and other places. For example in my opinion Kostas is not the only restaurant for Greek souvlaki. Try and another shops. Bye
