Cheap Eats by Brittany

Yasou! Glad you are back on our tour of Greece! If you missed my last post you can quickly catch up by clicking HERE! One thing I found most surprising about Greece was how cheap and easy it was to eat there (with out completely knowing the language), especially on the school tour I went on last year. Travelling on my own, without family, obviously meant I was paying so I paid more attention to the money I spent. On the tour we found great food, in small stores and major restaurants that was a lot less expensive than the same meal back home. Making it a lot easier for young travellers, like me and possibly you, to experience the amazing cuisine and most importantly survive there!

As seen in the image above at this particular eatery prices ranged from 1.70-4.70€, which is around 2.51-6.94$ here. The price comparison gap between the same meal there and here, is incredibly large, for example, a Chicken Gyros Pita (Chicken Yeeros here) costs a small 2.40€ (around 3.54$), though, the same here, at Gyro Fix in Fivedock, Sydney the pricing ranges from $6-$10 in the equivalent size.

Clearly highlighting how cheap and easy it is for travellers to enjoy a meal in Greece as it is almost double, if not majority of the time, more than double here. There are so many beautiful traditional meals you can try in Greece for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert and enjoy every bit, while still being affordable. Defiantly make sure you try a Gyro/Yeeros when you visit, at any time of the day, the chicken Gyro is my personal favourite and also try some traditional Greek Baklava for dessert (I had quite a few on the trip)! Baklava is a wonderful dessert of pastry, nuts and honey syrup and you really won't get enough of it once you try it!

My last baklava in Greece at a dessert bar while on the
 island cruise that I will discuss in my next post

Stay tuned as in my final post I will be taking you on an island cruise and highlight some more places you defiantly should visit, specifically a pretty and beautifully scenic island named Hydra!
