Welcome back to our Greek Street Food series! This is our last episode and in today’s video we are eating some of the BEST food we had in Greece. We are starting the day eating a spread of “mezedes” (Greek small plates). This includes smoked mackerel, dolma (stuffed grape leaves), and eggplant & zucchini in spicy Cappadocian sauce. To top it off, we tried their baklava and a candied carrot dessert.
Next, we are taking you across Athens to sample the food of Crete. Crete is Greece’s largest island and has its own cuisine. At I Kriti, we order Cretan style snails, apaki (smoked & salted pork), yemista (stuffed peppers) and dakos (Cretan salad with rusk). We also ordered their house wine which was awesome.
In between meals, we visited the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. It houses some of the most important Greek artifacts in the world. It was a beautiful place to explore and we recommend checking it out.
For dinner, we are back in downtown Athens for a traditional Greek meal. We tried kontosouvli (meat on a spit), a classic Greek salad and tsatziki. We were very full but so happy!

Hi Neighbour! Hope all is well in Egypt from Greece.
@@killa4life3333 .... Thank you 💗💗... We are doing well in Cairo... Our hearts with You in Beautiful Greece... Best Wishes and Regards
Is egypt country? Or belong to sısı famılly prıvate land for them?
@@Omrfrkc .... Egypt is a great country and belongs to all Egyptians... His Excellency Mr. President A. Fattah El Sissi is a very good and kind man ... He saved Egypt from big conspiracies roits called revolution and a swamp called gang brotherhood ... I wonder WHY and WHY do You talk about our President in such manner !!! You don't like it that Egypt is not destroyed like some countries ??? Or What ??? May God forgive You 🙏
@Michalis Sifakis .... Please forgive me I don't understand most of Your words but something inside me says these are good words and comforting my Friend.... Thank you so much.... Greetings from Africa Cairo Egypt
One of my favourite European country Greece 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Greece is awesome! Thank you Bibek!
@@LukeMartin Should head to Corfu, Paxos and Antipaxos, absolutely phenomenal.
The Greeks are definitely not shy with their feta 😍😍
If you have delicious cheese...FLAUNT IT!!
No they are not! Big chunks or go home hahaha
I grew up eating feta. Here in the Uk it’s not the same
@@tinamaan76 so true :(
when we are born we do not drink milk...but eat feta!!
I'm Greek and after whatching all your Greek episodes i must say that I feel familiarity with you guys something like we were eating at the same table..I'm sure you will return next year.thanks for visiting my country,be safe and keep doing what you love to do... eating drinking and sharing with people
Thanks so much for tuning into the series. We hope you enjoyed it! Take care!
i had the honor of living in greece for a year back in 1993 to 1994. i lived in Kato Achia. LOVED my year there amazing food, sights and people Miss it very much!
I know right???
They could eating at the next table and if they didnt speak english you'd think they r just another Greek couple!
They r so cool💚
@@aemxmea friend Ahmet...its in your hands to take down erdogan who distroy your wanting the good friendship to Europe!!! DO NOT SUPPORT HIM!!! please 🙏...✌️🇬🇷🙏🤝
Γειά σου Ελληναρα
The herb on top of Dakos salad is called rock samphire or sea fennel in English. Its scientific name is crithmum maritimum while in Greek is called kritamos. People collect it from coastal areas and pickle it.
Sea fennel meaning Kritamo? Omg I loveeee it!
Pro tip: just order a salad and feta separately. The "Greek salad" option is made for tourists. When you order them separately, it's the same thing but a bit cheaper.
Very nice job... Greece the heaven on earth!!!
Thanks Manuel!!
@@LukeMartin when you come back in greece i want to take you a ride with my car out of the tourist area of athens. Athens is very big and has more to see and eat!!! remember this words for the next time... ''paidakia'' ''gourounopoula'' ''choriatiko loukaniko''!!!
Έλληνας εδώ πέρα
@Luke Martin man being a greek living in London...man you made me homesick

Greek food so natural looking ....delicious
I love you Greece beautiful and natural beautiful clean rich country Greece 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

Thank you very much for your kind words!!! Love 😍 from Thessaloniki, Greece 🇬🇷 😊 😊 😊
th-cam.com/video/htiHrF5xrqg/w-d-xo.html
The greens on dakos are called" Kritama".They grow by the sea almost without water.We eat them pickled.I am greek by the way.It is fun to see you guys get excited on common greek food !
On the "Dakos" it's capers. In Greece we use the leaves, the stem with the blossom ( what you have on your dish) and the caper fruit. The last one is the most common form of caper. Just watched the rest of the video and it's caper leaves.
It's actually Kritamo, similar flavour but its the leaves and stems of the capers not capers themselves.
@@smilenhustle459 i totally agree.
It s kritamo not capers for sure
Yeap It is kritamo
Got to give y'all props... we literally felt like we were with you while you toured the museum. And honestly, that's probably as close as we'll get to it, but we're grateful for even that much. ❤️
Greek salad is delicious, I love it. Nice video. Thanks for sharing your awesome foods and scenery. Keep up the good work. Continue to support your guys.
Thank you so much my friend!

@@LukeMartin you can find it on Google as "sea fennel"
Thank you for being in Greece!!have fun..🧿🙏🏻💜👍🏻
We had a blast, thanks so much! Take care.
Luke Martin 😘💜
Dakos is a great dish! Soaking in all of that Cretan olive oil 🤤
Oh yeah!!! I've been dreaming of it!
Σαν την Ελλάδα πουθενά!😎
It's a unique and wonderful country!
I second that. I miss Greece so much. I was born there.
Εννοείται 💙🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

Hi Guys, Loved the Greece series! ! ! ✌️😊😊
That Greek salad looks soooo good. Drool. ❤️
This video felt like I was with them. Amazing virtual travel experience!
That's fantastic to hear! Thank you very much for tuning in!
Favourite TH-cam Channel💗✉
Hi guys, the topping on the Greek yogurt is i kydoni(I think in English is Quince) and not carrots. Keep up the good works, and compliments for choosing authentic Greek dishes
Luke when i was in the navy ! I already know the country,food and people are Beautiful,You are 24yrs late experiencing this.
hahaha yeah we couldn't have done this 24 years ago, we're only 26
We love Crete! Glad you got a taste of delicious Cretan food in Athens
We really hope to get to Crete soon! We want to try the real deal!
@@LukeMartin we would love to see that too :)
Awesome series ! Thank you both so much for being personable, friendly and honest. Once again, I’ve traveled by curiously through you two; and it was great. Can’t wait to see where we go next
- with love from Washington, USA
Thank you so much for the kind words Jenny! Glad you could join us in Greece. Take care and be safe!
Those snails are a Cretan staple - great choice!
So tasty!!
@@LukeMartin Turks were influenced by US (Greeks) culturally and genetically. Asia Minor (entire Turkey) was always Greek and only recently completely conquered by Turks, which are not even fully Turkish. What you have in Turkey today is Greek/Turk admixtures.
Same thing goes for rest of Middle East, WE influence them not the other way around.
All the food names are Greek, theres nothing "turkish" anymore because whatever Central Asian got mixed with the overwhelming Greek population is gone now.
Do you see Asian features when you look at Turks? Nope. Hybridization destroys uniqueness and cultures.
@@diy5729 wow the world stole the food from Greece .. chill
DIY i guess you refer to the first restaurant they visited with the cappadokian food. The truth is that most of the anatolian foods names have turkish or eastern origin. Who made them first- the byzantines or the turks- nobody knows for sure. Many of them have also persian origin
Cretan Food ?! Andy Milonakis is going to love this one lol
th-cam.com/video/hLH7vGhK_Hg/w-d-xo.html
@@amie415 whatever you say
After a few days in Athens , this couple seems to have gained a litlle weight :P
Nice videos keep them coming.
Lovely couple. Sabrina adds a lot to the channel, articulate and natural
That eggplant and zucchini dish reminds me of a dish we call Ratattoui
th-cam.com/video/hLH7vGhK_Hg/w-d-xo.html
Those leaves on the top of the dakos salad is "kritamos", a small plant that usually grows in rocky coastal areas.Its similar with pickled capers leaves yuumm
I can't wait to try this delicious and sweet very very nice wonderful and healthy food bro love you Greece 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷 bro
11:38 kritamon or crinthum or samphire. It becomes more and more popular outside greece. Traditional salady add on especially in Ikaria - greek island
The mackerel got me hungry again lol it looked so delicious 🤤 and I never had snail but after watching I’d give it try, and thanks for uploading the museum I loved that. Thank you for uploading loved this series thank you
In Portugal we also eat boiling snails, but we use oregano, orange and limon peel, water, salt, onion, etc. for cooking. I like snails, but not to big. Great hug from Portugal. Wait for your visit.
Sounds delicious! Where can I find those?
@@LukeMartin
in the south and center of Portugal, but only between the months of May and August.
In fact, it is a typical/tradicional dish of the celebration of the May 1 holiday, Labor Day. It's a kind of summer snak :D
@@ligialaginha In Greece, We make them with lemon-oregano or onion-fennel , onion- mint, Tsipouro-rosemary, bay leaves, stifado stew etc thete are many receipes.
When I’m hungry, I’ll be very happy to watch this video!!
I think your food keeps looking at me!
It looks so good!!!!!
The unknown substance on top of your dakos must be "kritamo" (Crithmum maritimum) probably pickled, a.k.a. Sea fennel, or Rock samphire.
Thank you so much for the info!
"The Traditional" is a staple in central Athens, go there almost every week with mate.
Solid choices of food, i would also have ordered a spicy cheese spread (tyrokafteri)
It's always packed out! We will try the spicy cheese on our next visit. Thanks for watching!
One of my favorite series for sure. cant wait to see what comes next. stay safe guys... with ❤️
Enjoyed your video; there are some places in your report I still have to discover. Good job!
I follow a few professional eaters on TH-cam and love their Greek stops the best - yours included! Sabrina's hair looks really pretty too - a change? :-)
This vlog is fun to watch. I enjoy this video so much. Thanks for this and keep it up.♥️👏
I’m agree with Sabrina when it comes to the bread! I would need more than a loaf to sop up that olive oil
Can't let any olive oil go to waste!
I’m Greek ... great presentation of my country!!!! Thank you 😊
Oh Greece would be my favorite place to travel to! And the food looks wonderful! Would love to be able to sit in the window and have breakfast! Omg the dinner was making me salivate!!🤭
loved your greek series!its nice to see how good they represent our city's culture. keep up the good work!
Guys you eat kontosouvli in our face? Delete and block!🤣 The best meat!! Great video again 👏
You show Greek cuisine so well. We have so many simple flavors. Now all these restaurants are closed and we can not eat snacks and drink ouzo with our friends 😔. I hope all this ends soon for everyone and you come to our islands this summer. 🌞🌿
Greece 🇬🇷😍❤️🔝
Luke, I must point out that the way you sample food so pasionately you are clearly made for this, your vids are great.
Thank you so much! We appreciate that!
Love your videos Sabrina and Luke! Many years now subscribed :)
I have just found out your videos and I love them ❤ subscribed already
I love you Luke from the Philippines. ❤️🇵🇭
I love greek food and you both are making me hungry and. I wanted to get t shirts and sweatshirts how do i do that can you please tell me thanks.
iM Athenian and im glad to see you enjoy healthy Greek cuisne Luke :) One tip !! next time you will order Greek salad do this !!! Break the cheese and mix all the salad in the dish and squeeze tomatoes with your fork so all tomato liquids and juice take out and mix with othe vegetables and feta..Give to that fusion 10 minutes for everything to mix up ..Enjoy slowly a glass of white wine have little chat with your company and after 10 minutes start to enjoy your salad !!!! :)
Hello Luke Martin. Amazing video from the food and looking delicious too.Love from 🇩🇪🇹🇭
Dolmathes me salata ke saligaria, yum nice. That last meal was the best for me. Yes i agree with the underground restaurant as the pick of the tour. Where to next ?? Thank you Luke & Sabrina.
Loved your Blog guys - I wish I could go back to Greece one day again - I miss it soo much.
I VERNON BOONE look at your videos all the time and you no how to explain from the beginning to the end of each video keep putting out these great videos.. THANK YOU
Thank you so much for watching and enjoying the videos!
Try watermelon with feta! It will blow your mind!!!!!!!! 😏🇬🇷
Well as Cyprus Resident, I prefer Haloumi.
Wow! This was great!
Yes..amazing food & nice presentation....nice series 👌
Thank you Sameer!
I got a great idea for your logo. Since it's chopstick travel you can make chopsticks as a protractor on a map or a globe.
Loved the vlog and everything!!
Thanks so much!
This looks like a amazing farm to table spot can’t wait to check it out some time. We’re fixing up the rv wanting to do a cross country trip in the next year. Going to check out Puerto Vallarta next month to see how it’s doing during COVID
The green thing on the dakos salad is called critamo and it grows in the sea, usually on the rocks.
Very nice videos,You should definitely visit The Greek islands in the summer, definitely recommend Kos island
In Greece they sell that dried bread in cubes in plastic bags in the supermarkets. It's seasoned with herbs and the reason it's dried is to soak up all the goodies you blend the cubes with (mostly salads).
I brought home two bags from the trip and they were gone in no time...
Hi Guys what a great video!💝you definitely got a like for this one!!! greek salad is my fav and it looked so good!!!everything you showed looked so beautiful cant wait to see what comes next!!!🌷🌷🌷📷📷
Thank you so much Margaret! Next up is our Canada series!
cant wai!!! thats where i live!!!😄
Great video and food choices guys. I’m so happy you visited my country again! And yeah, we’re not shy with olive oil and feta😁. I’m gonna watch this again with Andy Milonakis. He loves dakos.
Thanks for joining along!
This herb at the top of Dakos called Kritamos it's very healthy and you can find it only at the seaside. We use it at the top of salads mostly . You should came to Crete one day!
You guys would be great at giving tours in different countries. Great content! Thank you.
The think on cretan dakos is called "kritamo"! 😊
Luke I Watched many of your food videos but it seems that you enjoy the Greek food the most
Thanx for this beautiful Series .... 😉
Thanks for following along!
In National archaelogical museum did u go to the up to the 1st floor where the wall paintings are?When I saw the wall painting from Thira(Santorini)Spring with swallows..Just beatiful...
