So, I arrived in Greece and it’s already been fantastic. After a long trip that saw me waiting at Heathrow for 6 hours, at Zurich airport for 3, I finally arrived in Thessaloniki. My friend Kostas picked me up from the airport at 2am and drove me to Xanthi but not before we stopped to taste some Greek gyros 🙂 Ah! Greek junk food 🙂
Zurich Airport
Thessaloniki (2008/08/24): Greek gyros at 2.30am!!! This thing was a monster to eat.
Xanthi (2008/08/26): Eating “mpougatsa” ( p????tsa)… combined with chocolate milk. This thing is nectar in the morning. It’s pastry with Greek feta-like stuffing but not “tyropita” (t???p?ta) as some southern Greeks might have you believe; they are different. You’ll notice the number of plates. I’ve been behaving. Kostas “cleaned” the other three 🙂
Xanthi (2008/08/26): More food… at our friend’s Grigoris’ shop 🙂
I am now in Athens for my friends Sofi’s and Dave’s wedding. More photos to follow…

You don’t put those photos in public man. Zimiaaa!! One of the top 3 things I am missing from home!
Hey Savas, nice of you to remind us of Greece. I kinda miss it. Put more photos online please.
By the way Savas, mpougatsa’s stuffing is not feta like. It’s more like cream like. Man, what I really miss is Galaktobouriko, that’s my favourite. It goes great too with Mevgal chocolate milk. Man, next time I’m in Greece I’ll get loads of it, Revani too. Thanks for reminding me. 🙂
Thomas, you are absolutely right. It’s not feta-like… it’s ?????a… but how do you explain that? 🙂
I’ll try to find a galaktobouriko and take a photo for you :-)))
