Greece: Inexpensive Lunch

Submitted by Dara McNally on the 2022 spring semester program in Athens, Greece…

This week was far slower than the last, but I did try my best to explore some foods! If you’re looking for an inexpensive lunch I would highly recommend gyros! They’re usually between €2.50-€3.00 and they can vary a good bit between shops. It’s very fun to seek out a new shop each time! There are also a bunch of bakeries to check out nearby. A lot of the pastries have flavors like honey and hazelnut and a good handful are made with layered pastry sheets.

However, if you are ordering from a food app, make sure you know what the place has because sometimes the menus are in Greek or partially translated!
