Culinary City Tour Ioannina｜Greece

We start at the Clock Tower, where we taste a local favourite, bougatsa (a pastry, sweet or savoury), particularly popular as a pick-me-up in the morning. Then we’ll be having our first bite of Ioannina history with a fine view of the southeast of Ioannina. After that break we will be enjoying a platter of local cheeses. We will accompany the cheese with the local aperitif, tsipouro. Next door we’ll be tasting the Greek street food par excellence : gyros (grilled meat cut thin with tzatziki sauce, on a pita). Yummy…We continue for some local street food : lamb souvlaki (kebab, i.e. wooden skewers threaded with cubes of meat that are marinated and then cooked over charcoal). Then we’ll taste food combining local ingredients and recipes in a new form. At the end we’ll savour the local dessert : siropiasta (sweets made with thin leaves of pastry nuts over which a syrup, lemon and water is drizzled, after baking)
