A cup of coffee and a cigarette...sounds like me...with out the cigarette. The Greek have some of my favourite dishes. I used to live in Greektown Toronto, love Greek food. You guys are too much fun.
I LOVE HOW YOU INCORPORATE THE GREEK WOMAN SPEAKING HER BEAUTIFUL VERY FLUID AND GORGEOUS GREEK LANGUAGE WHEN SHE'S EXPLAINING THINGS WONDERFUL THANK YOU
I love greek food! Except for the greek breakfast....(cup of coffee and a sigarette 😅). I could also eat that food every single day! That shop with all the salamis hanging from the roof is unreal! I would not be able to walk up straight in there (I am quite tall). Great video as always!
Another city with amazing food. The tour looks like it was fun and educational. The doughnuts look great. I have a friend in Melbourne who has a successful food truck that only seels greek donuts
As a Greek Let me tell you that Miran is a a Greek store with Turkish or eastern cuisine ! Nobody in Greece eats pastourma I think there were better places to check with 100% Greek cuisine ! I think next time you should check them out
Greek cuisine has influences from the east Jay , that is why is so rich. We embraced all the delicacies of other cultures and combined with ours we made a heavenly cuisine. We are a crossroad of civilization that brings Europe and Asia together. And with our fresh and perfect quality ingredients we can please every pallet. We have fish culture , meat culture and vegie culture. :) And ofc every place has its diverse local recipes that are amazing and takes 3 lifetimes to taste em all.
When you come again, let me know and i will show you the real thing and not the touristic traps. Nice video, thank you as a Greek to visit us. Looking forward to see you again. Wish you all the best.
GREEK FOOD IS MY FAVORITE AND I LIVED IN GREECE FOR 5 YEARS AND I LOVE THE GREEK SALADS I'M ADDICTED AND ALSO TO THE TZATZIKI AND ONLY INCREASE CAN YOU GET THE REAL TZATZIKI AND THE REAL GREEK FOOD FOR THAT MATTER I LOVE IT
the loukoumades we still eat them without cinnamon, at least I do. We have meatballs too, soutzoukakia are different we don't consider them meatballs though. The tour was a good one considering the time you had. You ate all this in just half a day??? I admire you, I would need a week to digest it all.
I am watching your video, while I am so hungry and you can imagine how I feel now :$. I really miss greek food, but we didn't have time to try all of the things you tried
I'm greek and have had a cigarette and coffee for breakfast since 15 (leave me alone I moved out at a young age), but now I know it must because my genes lol
And here's our guide to Athen restaurants: www.2foodtrippers.com/athens-restaurants/ Once again, we'll update the video comments once we get the opportunity.
You guys didn't eat most of the really authentic Greek foods, like mousaka, baklava, NOT ANY SEAFOOD (which is a real shame, since Greece has the best seafood in the world!), you didn't drink the Greek house made red wine, or the ouzo...That guide of yours was not very savvy
In addition to the half day food tour featured in the video, we spent a month in Athens and ate all the kinds of food you're looking for. www.2foodtrippers.com/athens-restaurants/
Because there are no restaurants with cretan cuisine in Athens too. Και το ξέρεις ότι προφανώς τα φαγητά που έφαγαν ήταν ελληνικά και όχι αθηναίκα. Επίσης, ορισμένα π.χ. φέτα, κασέρι, σαλάμια, είναι θέμα προσωπικής γεύσης και όχι καταγωγής του προιόντος.
The g is soft, not completely silent. When in doubt, run the phrase through google translate, it gets the pronunciation pretty close to how a local would say it imo.
@@2foodtrippers Actually pronounced as syntaGma. Means constitution. G is pronounced not like "girl" but like "you". When Greece was under Bavarian (german) command by a Bavarian king who was like dictator Greeks asked for constitution. Today's parliament was the Kings palace those days. I call it the first occupation by the Germans
instanbul is Greek so give it back and maybe we return some foods. even the name is Greek if you didnt know "Εις-την-πόλη". btw most of your foods are Arabic and not even turkish
@@Kowaidesuka İstanbul,566 years have passed since it was taken over by FATİH SULTAN MEHMET.What do you say?We didn't even change Hagia Sofia's name.We obsession with name.And the Anatolian area has been 1000 years.Greece is 11 million,İstanbul 16 million. Come on and get.
this bullshit has to stop! food is greek not turkish! you took the recipes from us not the other way around! where exactly did you find all these ingredients living at the central asia steppes? and in the end what is the probability a nomadic nation that only appeared in the area 800 years ago to have a richer cuisine than a nation who already is in the area for more than 5000 years? so piss off!
koulouri is from thessaloniki and from thessaloniki it got to america when jews moved there and today its the bagel for americans. the reason why it is round was that the vendors moved through the streets and had the koulouris on a stick , hence the hole. ppl who believe that turks brought anything to the greek are ignorant of the historical timeline in this regions. the turks couldnt bring anything to the greeks because the greeks had already empires in asia and middleeast , like the seleucid empire which spanned from palestine to afghanistan and india, or the bactrian empire and the ptolemaic empire in egypt for centuries before turks was even invented and came from mongolia to asia minor and balkans, therefore the greek already knew all the spices and brought them to europe and greece. its the other way around, the turks learned and adopted everything from the greeks, the food , the spices and even the music, which was funny enough christian orthodox lithurgic music and was played in orthodox ceremonies and was part of the byzantine empire for centuries and when the turks conquered slowly byzantine lands they adopted food and music and today they pretty much have the same food and spices like the greek already had. turks was used by the byzantines as mercenaries for many centuries, they was tough fighters from the steppes and was used as cavallary, so in the end the greek themselves teached them how to beat the greek armies and at some point the byzantine empire just started to crumble from inner and outer conflicts and at the end it fell to the turks which had now access to everything the greeks had kept in the libraries and written stuff.
Round breads appear all over Europe. Bagels are generally ackowledged to have originated in Poland. But hey, Thessaloniki's Kolouri could have made its way to Poland a few hundred years ago.
well that wouldnt come as a surprise because many jews from greece accompanied the ottoman armies on their invasion of europe and made business with the muslim and christian ppl and in 17th century the ottoman armies reached poland and because of a large jewish community in poland the polish jews may have learned the recipes from their fellow jews from greece which worked the koulouri and loukoumi busines almost exclusively in thessaloniki since early 1500ad.
OH NO WHAT TEMPTATION YOU GUYS ARE MAKING ME HUNGRY AND I AM SO ON A DIET LOL I CRAVE THAT GREEK AUTHENTIC GREEK FOOD IN GREECE FROM GREECE RESTAURANTS HERE IN AMERICA THEY DON'T CUT IT FOR ME
So, you know nothing about Greek food, and you do not bother to learn anything .., so you hire a guide. Cinnamon spice was and is imported from India and Sri Lanka and not from Turkey. 02:56 - Loukoumades are not Greek donuts at all, the taste, the dough and the methods of preparation are not the same. (Never frosting or glazing, only Syrup !) - However, since the Loukoumades came long before donuts ... it is the donuts that resemble Loukoumades !
That silly millennial tour guide that you got is full of stereotypes judging by her self understanding of things. Of course not all Greeks have only coffee and cigarette for breakfast. Maybe she and thee village she comes from but definitely not the majority.
I'm Greek and I confirm that especially in cities that people rush to go to work people have a coffee on the go and a cigarette. You can see literally everyone carrying a cup of coffee in the streets. I would say that in her village people have a great breakfast every morning.
Ignore this Peter guy, the majority of Greeks (or a good 30-40%) does have usually just "coffee and cigarette for breakfast". Some people just like to pretend they're more upscale than others...
It's very funny to watch these food videos from europe done by americans. They act like little children. Check some vids about americans and polish food

Imagine forcing people to live in your empire for 400-500 years and then acting all surprised when they were culturally influenced by this empire. Then being so dull as to call it theft. Besides, having a word for something in Turkish doesn't automatically mean Turks invented it. lol. Many different cultures and ethnic groups were part of the Ottoman Empire, not just Turks. Get a grip.
Actually it is Turkey that is famous all around the world for stealing the culture of other countries, your cuisine is partially Greek, partially Arabic, partially Lebanese, partially Syrian, well, stop stealing classic recipes from other countries and then claim that they are yours , because they are not.

You guys are the dream visitors, such great attitude. Hope you had a great time.
OMG, Greek food is so fabulous! You make me seriously hungry (and googling flights to Athens)^^
Are they expensive from Germany? Sometimes it costs more money to fly to Athens in season.
So many new Greek foods I want to try! It all looked so good especially the pork chops! The graffit was cool to see as well!
I love her greek temperament 😀
This was an awesome Greek food tour! The Cheese pie looks delicious!
It was. It was one the more buttery confections in an olive oil culture.
@@2foodtrippers Kourou may taste buttery but it doesn't contain butter at all; or at least it shouldn't. It's made with Greek yogurt.
I like this channel i like they are smiling all the time and the info of other food around the world they are really enjoying life
Greek food is amazing

Thanks! We've been here for a few weeks and I don't want to leave. Greece has one of the more underrated food cultures in Europe.
I love you guys. You both have awesome personalities, and the editing skills/ transitions are on par with anything I’ve seen on the travel channel.
So much good stuff, looks delicious! We're heading to Greece later this year and I'm really looking forward to it!
I'm a sucker for the Mediterranean diet so olives, cheese, metzika and all would be a dreamy day tour.
I love Athens and I love food tours! Looks like you had some fun times! Happy travels!
Athens has so many delights and we loved everything.

We just had loukoumades stuffed with cheese tonight. That was some special stuff.
@@2foodtrippersWith kavseri are also tasty. Then loukoumades with honey for sweet.
As a Greek Let me tell you that Miran is a a Greek store with Turkish or eastern cuisine ! Nobody in Greece eats pastourma I think there were better places to check with 100% Greek cuisine ! I think next time you should check them out
Thanks. We would love to hear any and all recommendations!!
We eat pastourma and we love it. Miran actually is of Armenian origin. Armenians are masters of pastourma and soutzouki
Greek cuisine has influences from the east Jay , that is why is so rich. We embraced all the delicacies of other cultures and combined with ours we made a heavenly cuisine. We are a crossroad of civilization that brings Europe and Asia together. And with our fresh and perfect quality ingredients we can please every pallet. We have fish culture , meat culture and vegie culture. :) And ofc every place has its diverse local recipes that are amazing and takes 3 lifetimes to taste em all.
