Athens Greek Sweets Street Food Tour Must Eat Dessert and Coffee in Athens Greece

Ross will demonstrate eating a whole donut in one go. Hey guys I'm Ross and I'm Bec and today we're in Athens, Greece and we're about to take you into the city and show you our favorite Greek sweets. And coffees. Oh yeah some delicious coffee too. So we're gonna jump on this train and take you with us now. Rich creamy Greek yogurt with walnuts and honey on top. We used to eat this back home in Australia but to be in Greece eating it is just a dream and they keep it simple. They just drizzle some honey and we asked for some walnuts on ours. Oh it's just oozing delicious. It's just so rich. So we've had this for breakfast a fair few times here but you can also have this as a dessert. Oh yeah look at that. That is so yummy. Music All right we are having Loukoumatis which is a traditional Greek donut ball and they are absolutely delicious. We have two different types today. We've got the traditional which is honey with cinnamon and it comes with nuts and ice cream as well and we also have the gold medal which is not a traditional option but here you can actually cater to whatever your taste is for dessert. You can pick and choose whichever toppings you like. This is one that they recommend as a good combination and you have chocolate praline with pistachios and also an ice cream that has cookies and praline as well. Traditional. Ross will demonstrate eating a whole donut in one go. Don't eat too much. Our favorite part of the day coffee break and we have an Ibrik coffee which is a traditional Greek coffee that they well cook. They prepare in the sand and it's a really cool little process there. It looks really awesome. So I'm gonna pour that and Beck got the Fredo which is an espresso with the frothy foamy part of the milk and it's served cold on ice. This is so popular. All the locals walk around with this as their coffee of choice. So Beck's gonna enjoy that one. I'm gonna show you my Ibrik which I love. I have an Ibrik every day in the morning. It's delicious because it's unfiltered coffee. A bit different to the normal coffee you're used to. It is similar to a Turkish coffee but it's just roasted differently and I love the little sand thing that's going on here. It's pretty cool. That is really intense. Really strong. If you need a caffeine hit Ibrik into your coffee. There's that Bok. Happy Bok. Okay we've got three traditional Greek pastries. We've just done a bit of a bakery raid. That's the way to do it guys. That is the way to do it. I can't wait to get into the Baklava. That's the iconic Greek pastry. Apparently Kataifi is a really popular dessert as well and then they said get the long one with the custard. So we've got all three. Let's tuck in and tell everyone what we're tasting. All right Baklava. There were a couple of different varieties but we went with the butter one today. Oh it's packed full of nuts. Lots of nuts and that syrup on the outside. The honey or whatever they do on that outside. I don't even really want to know how they make it. All I know is it tastes good on the way in. It's so sweet. We have had a few of these over the month. This place was our favorite. It's actually just in the middle of Monastiraki Square. Baklava 10 out of 10. You eat it so fast. Rossi's too fast for me. I'm a bit too quick. I'm ready for the next one. Bec's gonna have something afterwards. Next up Kataifi. All right Bec get your fingers on the Kataifi. You can see little pistachios on there. We haven't had this one but yeah it's really really popular. I don't really know how to describe it. It's not as rich as the Baklava but it's got these sort of thin noodles or some sort of Greek thin noodles on the outside which are just really cool and on the inside it's kind of got them in there too. This is really cool. Yeah it's still quite sweet but yeah the two different kinds of nuts. I'm not sure what that is on the inside. I'm inhaling these. I love sweets. All right the log. The Greek custard log is what we're gonna call it and Bec is gonna tuck in first and I'll have whatever's left. We'll see. I'm not sure if this is finger food but we're giving it a go. Oh it's like a really crispy pastry but still has the sort of syrupy coating. Oh I have a feeling this could be delicious. The custard's not as oozy as I thought it would be which is probably a good thing given it's you know like quite syrupy on the outside. Greek sweets we love them. Right so now we have three different traditional... I did a weird thing with my hands. I'm Bec. I'm Ross and I'm Bec. Don't do it again. So nice. Donut ball and they're with the... So I would have an ibric every day. I love it because...
