In the sixth episode of Season 1 of Dream of Europe, we visit capital Greece — Athens. Watch the full episode on YouTube (still also available on PBS) and subscribe to the Dream of Europe YouTube Channel! So how visit Volvi Souvlaki Stand in Athens Greece?
Every culture has its go-to street food, and in Greece, it’s souvlaki—simple, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Tasos Perdikis, aka “The Souvlaki Guy,” has mastered the craft, using Mount Athos wood to create the ideal coals. He slow-cooks the meat over embers, not fire, then serves it on warm pita with tomato and onion. For a bite of what many consider “the best souvlaki” in Athens, visit his stand in the Varvakeios Market.
