Athens: Gyros and Greek Yogurt

I might put on serious pounds over the three days in Greece. There are two reasons I'm so pumped about the Greek food: (1) it's really good (prerequisite for raving about food) and (2) its so cheap I feel like I'm stealing.

Example one: huge gyros cost the equivalent of $2.50 usd. (that's maybe a third or fourth of what they cost in NZ and the quality is dramatically better). Filled with chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, tzatziki sauce, and fries.

Example Two: Greek Yogurt. At $3 it isn't quite the value of the gyro, but this is the best yogurt I have ever tasted. The store we found has a pinkberry syle service where you can choose the yogurt (lite, regular or creamy) and the toppings (all different times of fruit sauces, nuts, and honey). Thank you trip advisor for the tip. Over / under at the time of writing for visits during our 3 days: 4. Call your bookie and bet the over.

Lunch today was lamb slouvaki, Greek salad and yogurt sauce. And, yes, it was just as amazing as it looks.

Upcoming: a trip to the acropolis and a visit to consult the oracle at Delphi.
