Greek food is a celebration of Mediterranean flavors, known for its emphasis on fresh, wholesome ingredients like olive oil, vegetables, herbs, and seafood. Popular dishes include moussaka, a baked casserole with eggplant and meat, souvlaki, skewered grilled meat, and spanakopita, a savory spinach and feta pastry. Tzatziki, a yogurt-based dip with cucumber and garlic, is a favorite accompaniment. Greek cuisine also features gyros, slow-roasted meat wraps, and dolmades, grape leaves stuffed with rice and herbs, offering a balance of taste and tradition.
