Eating in Greece, Athens

Athens is a melting pot of traditional cuisine, accompanied by traditional music, and the urge to feed the tourist’s stomach. Because Greek cuisine is popular, but at the same time one of many, one can find restaurants to everyone’s taste. So if you decide not to eat a traditional dish (such as Souvlaki, Keftedes or Kalamaraki) at a Taverna, make sure you go to an authentic Ouzeria Greek cafe after your dinner, not in the least to drink away your garlic taste.
One tiny detail that might be of interest, Greeks generally do not eat breakfast. Therefore, it is up to you to be inventive. Go to a shop and buy some bread or take my advice and start eating the delicious Greek snacks (Kebabs and Koulouria for example) as early as possible.
Herei s a recipe for Greek salad:

3-4 tomatoes

2 medium-sized cucumbers

1 sliced onion

1 lettuce (cut)

1 green sliced pepper

200 grams (7 oz) Feta cheese
3-4 tablespoons olive oil

2-3 table spoons vinegar

150 grams (5 oz) black olives
2 tablespoons caper (optional)

Oregano
Salt & Pepper

First wash all the vegetables very well. Slice the tomatoes in thin quarters. Peel and slice thinly the cucumbers
Add the cucumbers, the lettuce, the oregano, the black olives, the onion, the green pepper and the caper (optional). Dress the salad with the olive oil, vinegar and salt and mix them. Add the Feta cheese broken into small pieces

The above recipe is for 5-6 servings.
