The Greeks have a very sweet tooth and are not ashamed to admit it. You will find some extremely enticing pastry shops around town, and of course many sticky desserts on the restaurant menus. Some of the delights you can get your teeth into are:

Baklava
A gooey delight made from layers of flaky pastry and chopped nuts all soaked in Honey. Mmmmmmm.........

Kataifi
This is just as gooey, but this one looks like shredded wheat. It is filled with sweetened nuts and again soaked in honey.

Yiaourti Meh Melee Thick and creamy Greek yoghurt covered with honey and nuts. Another way to serve this is with fresh fruit.

Creme Caramels
Good old cream caramel just as we know it.

Pastas
This is a general term used for many varieties of Sponge cakes that are filled with cream and covered with a soft icing of chocolate, vanilla or coffee.

These are all a trifle naughty but oh so nice!!

If you are watching the calories, you will also find a good selection of fresh fruits including watermelon (karpouzi), honeydew melon (peponi), apples (mila) and oranges (portokalia).
