Restaurants & Food in GreeceGreek Cuisine and restaurants in Greece are simple and straightforward. There's no snobbery about eating out; everyone does it, In choosing a restaurant, the best strategy is to go where the Greeks go - and they go late: 2 to 3pm for lunch, 9 to 11pm for dinner. There are two basic types: the estiatório and the taverna.Estiatória specialize in the more complicated, oven-baked casserole dishes, like moussakás and pastítsio, stews like kokinistó and stifádho,yemistá (stuffed tomatoes or peppers), the oily vegetable casseroles called ladherá, and oven-baked meat and fish. Tavernas are much more common in Greece. The primitive ones have a very limited menu, but the more established will offer some of the main dishes mentioned above as well as the standard taverna fare, which essentially means mezédhes (hors d'uvres) and tis ras (meat and fish fried or grilled to order).
The dominant condition of Greece's climate is the alternation between hot, dry summers and cold, damp winters typical of the Mediterranean. But considerable local variation results from elevation and distance from the sea. Generally, continental influences are felt farther north and in the center of the mainland. For a beach holiday in Greece the best months to visit are from June to October when it is the sunniest and hotest time of the year. If visiting Greece between November and the end of May some rainy days and cool temperatures can be experienced. |    |
