Souvlaki: The Origins of Greek Fast Food

Greece is well known for its delicious cuisine and healthy Mediterranean diet, but what about fast food?

Perhaps the most simple recipe and an amazing delicacy of Greek gastronomy.

- Grill pork and chicken skewers, chop your veggies and wrap your pitta bread.
- Discover the art of the perfect tzatziki, Greece’s famous cucumber-yoghurt dip.
- Enjoy Greek white wine.
