A guide to having a good holiday in Greece

Greece is beautiful Mediterranean country with a lot of history and tradition
With more than 2,000 islands, ranging from tiny atolls to the veritable continent that is Crete.
The beautiful and rich land all this is due to the green hills, towering mountains, clear blue seas, pure white sands, endless olive groves and colorful wild flowers. Maritime Greece is unmatched for sheer variety. Beaches, history, walking, cycling, water sports, festivals, food ecology: chances are if you want it, they got it.
Here are just a few of the incomparable offerings Greece islands hold
Greek Music, Dancing
Many restaurants and hotels all over Greece put on shows for tourists. Many of the restaurants do try to supply the tourist with a more traditional performance and in many cases they are taught a lot of Greek history and culture through stories told by the performers. These take place in taverns all over Greece. It makes a refreshing change.

Where to eat and drink in Greece?
Greece’s original fast food can be found at any of the nation suvlatzidhiko.Pitta giros,pork meat,tzatziki and french fries.My favorite.
Quite possibly the most common sort of food vendor you see in Greece is the pie shop, selling such favorites as tiropita (cheese pie) and spanakopita (spinach pie).
There are many restaurants,taverns,ouzeries.
What To Eat and Enjoy
As a guide, you will be offered:
Taramosalata: A fish roe dip made with garlic, onion, breadcrumbs, olive oil and lemon juice.
Tzatziki: The famous yoghurt, cucumber and garlic dip. Scooped up with fresh bread, it makes a refreshing snack.
Feta Cheese: many locals enjoy a thick slice of feta with a drizzle of olive oil and a dash of paprika.
Dolmades: Vine leaves stuffed with rice or meat - normally served cold. Fresh ones are only available early in the season (May, June) when the vine leaves are fresh.
Tiropitta: Filo pastry pies stuffed with feta cheese - they are a delight. Also look out for Spanakopitta - which are the same but with a little spinach added.
Saganaki: A hard Greek cheese which is battered and shallow fried. Served with a large chunk of lemon
Scorthalia: The Greeks love dips and this one is a very garlicky potato based one. Served cold but it is yummy
Gigantes: Large butter type beans, baked in a thick seasoned tomato, onion and garlic sauce.
Keftethes: Fried meatballs with garlic and herbs.
Loukaniko: Spicy local sausages - usually grilled.
Mousaka: Layers of fried aubergine and minced meat (usually beef) topped with a creamy béchamel sauce.
Stifado: A meaty red wine stew with baby onions and tomato. The meaty chunks are soft and tender and the baby onions go soft and sweet - to be eaten with lots of bread.
Sofrito: Tender beef steak cooked in a garlic and wine sauce
Yemista: Stuffed vegetables, usually tomatoes and green peppers. The filling is usually a vegetable and rice mix with a little cheese. Sometimes beef mince is added.
Kelftiko: Lamb slowly baked in the oven until it is so tender it just falls from the bone. Served with Greek roasted potatoes.
Kalamari: Baby squid, usually fried with a dusting of flour, but better grilled.
Marithes: Sardine sized fish which are fried and yummy.
Kakavia: Fish soup - often this will include vegetables, bones and heads! But it is always excellent.
Oxtapothi: is often boiled and served in what the locals call a 'salad'. Actually these are small pieces in olive oil - with no salad in sight! It is though very tasty ( a little bit like chicken). Grilled is also excellent - but often quite expensive as it shrinks to a tiny size when cooked.
This are some of the most popular dishes in Greece,but there are many restaurants and snack bars that do modern food.And many restaurants do English food.
