Activity description
Ioannina has always been the centre of a pretty much remote, until recently, region of Greece and, as such, it had to cater for a variety of customers, from the mountain villagers who came to the city once a week for supplies, to merchants and to the officials of the area. Their culinary needs varied enormously, that is why a rich and varied food culture exists for everyone, from local street food to haute cuisine
Description:
We start at the old administrative centre of the Ioannina city, at the Clock Tower, around where we taste a local favourite, bougatsa (a pastry, sweet or savoury), particularly popular as a pick-me-up in the morning. Then we’ll be having our first bite of Ioannina history with a fine view of the southeast of Ioannina. After that break, we will be enjoying a platter of local cheeses. The countryside in Epirus is full of herbs that add to the quality of the milk produced and, thus, dairy products here are pretty unique. We will accompany the cheese with the local aperitif, tsipouro. Next door we’ll be tasting the Greek street food par excellence : gyros (grilled meat cut thin with tzatziki sauce, on a pita). Yummy…We continue for some local street food : lamb souvlaki (kebab, i.e. wooden skewers threaded with cubes of meat that are marinated and then cooked over charcoal). Then we’ll taste food combining local ingredients and recipes in a new form. At the end we’ll savour the local dessert : siropiasta (sweets made with thin leaves of pastry nuts over which a syrup, lemon and water is drizzled, after baking).
