Vlatadon Monastery is a 14th century monastery in Thessaloniki that’s interesting to visit, but notable mostly for the jaw-dropping view.
Thessaloniki’s love for flaky pies is actually pretty impressive. It probably helps that it’s a great, quick breakfast that you can eat on the go. Seeing people munching on a slice of pie in a paper bag is an extremely common sight in the morning.
What’s better than delicious food? Delicious food that’s also cheap. Somehow, a meal just tastes better when it’s a great deal.
If you went to Greece and you didn’t have souvlaki, were you even there? I think we all know that the answer to that question is no.
So yes, of course I had souvlaki. I’m not a crazy person.
Trigona Elenidi has been serving up trigona — a triangular Greek pastry filled with a custardy cream — since 1960. And while they also serve a handful of other desserts, trigona is clearly the main attraction. It’s right there in the name.
