Food traditions

Customs to know before you sit down — nothing here to tick off.

Meze

Evenings

Small plates shared across the table with ouzo or tsipouro — nobody orders a dish for themselves.

Easter

Orthodox Easter

The biggest feast of the year: a midnight service with candles, red-dyed eggs, magiritsa soup and lamb roasted on spits on Sunday.

Panigiria

Summer

Village festivals for a saint's day, with long tables, music, dancing and food until dawn.

The treat

Every meal

At the end of a taverna meal, a small dessert or raki often arrives on the house — the kerasma.
