Tzatziki is the favourite Greek snack that can be enjoyed as a dip (with bread, rusk or vegetables) and usually escorts meat dishes.
This is the quality fast food of Greece. Pure and tasty pork meat, fresh tomatoes, tzatziki and onions in its basic form, leaving room for many variations.
Known the world over, moussaka is the trademark of Greece. They love it on Naxos too. They prepare it using the finest aubergines from Koronos.
Papoutsakia (Aubergine slippers)
A symphony of meat and vegetables, papoutsakia includes large aubergines, minced meat, tomato sauce with onions and grated cheese.
Gemista (Stuffed tomatoes and peppers)
Tomatoes and peppers stuffed with rice. This is the simplest and most extraordinary summer food. A common variation includes minced meat as well.
There is a strong connection between the green pepper and the feta cheese. Adding a few extras and the taste takes off!
They can be served either as a grilled vegetable salad or as a meze, accompanied by tzatziki or thin slices of the famous graviera of Naxos. Magical!
