CRETAN FOODS FOR VEGETARIANS | TOP 5

Hi there in this video I will tell you about the best traditional foods to eat in Crete. Place number 5 is a food called dakos. The base of dakos is rusk. But the key is that you have to put in water in order for it to be soft. The you put some gradet tomato on it and the greek cheese feta. Some olive oil oregano salt pepper and there you go. Dakos is usually offered as an appetizer.
Number 4 is a food called stamnagkathi It is a true cretan food as it is said that it only grows in Crete. It can have a little bitter taste but you eat it pleasantly. We recommend stamnagathi to be served with olive oil and lemon on it. Stamnagathi is also good for the live. Definetely a food that will surprise you.
Number 3 is saganaki Saganaki is actually fried cheese that’s it. But oh boy it’s som simple but so tasty. It can be cooked with graviera cheese feta or chaloumi the cheese from Cyprus. A very tasty appetizer. Once again we recommend saganaki to be combined with lemon juice.

Number 2 is main dish. A typical Cretan food called gemista. Gemista is vegetables like tomato or pepper or sometimes in rare occasions potatos. The vegetables are stuffed with rice and cretan spices. A simple but very tasty and nutritious meal to give you energy for your Cretan vacations.

Number 1 is Gigandes Plaki. Gigantes means giant. And it is called like this because it contains very big baked beans. Those beans are baked in tomato sause base. And are definitely worth the try.

Those were the 5 vegaterians foods to eat in Crete. Please inform me if you will try any of those foods in your stay in Crete. Thank you so much for watching.
