There are many great dishes to sample when you go on holiday to Greece, such as the famous moussaka or stuffed vine leaves. In Athens alone there are a great many options to choose from, among the best are Palia Agora, Spondi and Varoulko (especially the champagne shrimp). Alternatively if you are visiting Turkey, there are a huge variety of kebabs to try in luxury restaurants, as well as street stalls.
A huge selection of restaurants are situated in Greece's capital city, such as Palia Agora which offers traditional dishes including grilled salmon, stuffed wine leaves, platters of cheese and Greek salad. Other spots in Athens include Spondi behind the Olympic Stadium and offers a beautiful salmon dish in yogurt and fig sauce. Highlights of the Varoulko restaurant include smoked swordfish, roasted octopus and Champagne shrimp with mushrooms and green peppers. Almira Restaurant in Kamari Greece is a lovely place to sample local delicacies, including moussaka. Situated along Karmari Beach it's renowned for its flavoursome moussaka and its large portions, and also offers excellent lamb and fish. Another lovely eatery in Greece is the Polyphemus Garden Restaurant, which is popular for its garden seating. It's open from May until mid-October for both lunch and dinner to taste to the great combination of Greek meat and aubergine.
All inclusive Turkey holidays mean you can sample delicious food in the ease of your hotel.
The main types of kebab include a dönerkebab, iskenderkebab, adanakebab, siskebab and auberginekebab. The dönerkebab, probably the most well known, is made up of grilled pieces of beef, lamb or chicken which are placed on a half dürüm/pancake bread together with salad, onions and spices. With the same ingredients as a dönerkebab, the iskenderkebab is served on a plate with yoghurt and salad. Originating from the same city as its name, the adanakebab is spicy minced beef on a grilled skewer. The auberginekebab is a combination of meat and aubergine which is grilled on a skewer. The siskebab is comprised of large pieces of beef, lamb, or chicken on a skewer grilled with pieces of red pepper.
If you want to eat out in Turkey, a great restaurant is the Somine Kebab in Fethiye, opposite Tanas on the main road. In this restaurant, you can order an entire lamb or turkey so they'll be plenty of food to go around at a reasonable price. There is an option called the 'special kebab' which is where you can try out all of the kebabs on their menu. Steak and fish are also available.
Restaurants in Turkey where you can sample delicious local food include Karavan in Kas; Vogue in Istanbul; Ney Restaurant in Marmaris; Aphrodite Restaurant in Side and Kate Washington in Ankara. Similar to Spanish tapas, but of a totally different taste is the Turkish meze. They are a selection of small hot and cold dishes served as an appetizer. Traditionally they are shared with everyone on the table. They include lavas - large and airy balloon bread with sesame seeds which are eaten with the other appetizers. Other choices include dolma comprises vine leaves, peppers, tomatoes or potatoes stuffed with rice, meat, spices and tomatoes; borek which is fried puff pastry with spinach and white cheese; stuffed aubergine; ezme which is a red spicy dish cooked with chilli, tomato and chives and is especially delicious eaten as an accompaniment to kebabs. Holidays in Turkey can be found easily online, with some great deals to be had.
