@@AlexMarkTravelI like your videos about greek food , one suggestion the majority of the Greeks from crete to thesaloniki Macedonia, to most of greek parts have vlach origin u can see in there surnames I lived in greece before I was ignorant after reading history books abd interact with people I realise the romanian vlach influence in balkan countries by the way vlach come from same tribe of thracian today Bulgarians in albania I think majority of the population have romanian origin alot of surnames is typical romania vulgar latin
We are Dimitris , Kostas & Anna from “Ta Kalamakia” ! Thank you so much for your words , we appreciate it and we hope to see you again sometime in Greece ! 🇬🇷❤️
@@AlexMarkTravel the main reason is the prices , just for car park some places charging 200-300 dollars a day , a bottle of raki (Uzo) normally around 800 lira but in a restaurants it's 3-4000 lira ,hot chips 20-30 USD , pide with mince or peynirli 50-60 USD , if you go to a restaurant in Turkey on the west side with your family to a normal restaurant you end up paying 200-300 euros for a basic lunch or dinner , when I look at the Turkish videos on RU-vid , they compare the prices and the islands are 6-7 times cheaper than Turkish side , that's the reason for Turkish ppl to choose the islands , it's not the taste of the foods
We go to Crete 3x times. This saturday again. We met a lady originally from our country and she always recommends places that tourists don't know much about. It's an amazing island and we discover new things and always nice people.
This was the really good video. Very tasty food. I was most impressed by that taverna in the forest. This entire video was like traveling through time. Preparing traditional food in traditional way not thinking weather it is healthy or unhealthy. Bravo.
Just flopped on your channel. Excellent. All content, not all style like other channels. Prices included, good narration and the description dead-on. Catching-up with your other locations. Keep going Sir. Subbed.
Best tip for anyone going to Greece. Spend no more than four days in Athens. One day to unwind and 3 to check the city and sights. Get the next plane out of Greece and head straight to Crete. Whilst the people of Crete want the tourism dollar. They are far more interested in making you happy first. Crete will not disappoint.
Hope you had a nice experience from Crete. I have seen so many times online saying that greek food is bad and it's not worth to try it. I think the people that saying this never came to Greece or they just go to touristic traps in extremely touristy places. The kalamaki you tasted at the end reminds me how the "souvlatzides"(souvlaki makers/masters)used to make them back in the days 80s,90s. Although as a greek i find our food really one of the best i can tell that quality of ingredients and the taste of them have been dropped the last decades. I mean you can still find great ingredients and tasty food even nowadays , but let me tell you in the past everything was even more fresh and tasty. Greece of the end of 20th century was the best version of Greece ever. In every single and possible way. Just a different experience!
I remember the Greece you are telling about as I spent many summer holidays in Greece as a kid, throughout 80s and beginning of 90s, that was pure magic back then. But mind you even with the quality drop of today, this is probably the best cuisine in Europe, or in the first 3. And in Crete they kept this 80s and 90s feel in many places, and hospitality is amazing as well. People who says they don't like Greek food, probably don't like food at all, or they are hitting tourist traps all the time, but that's why you should never sit and eat in very obvious touristy places. This kalamaki/souvlaki in the video is the real deal. Gia mas!
been to Greece not too long ago and had some amazing experience with local food but I was disappointed to see some food shops having big signs advertising Kebob. Not necessary for Greece, Gyro only, only authentic names please!!! Go Greece
So much good food, so little time! Another fantastic food adventure, Alex Mark. Also, so many calories! Wonderful places that you find are seemingly everywhere you go. Thank you for taking us along.
This time I wont question grammar or pronunciation, but simply asking myself of whats best in life than travelling and eat well all in row..😋 That food fiil your belly but its not advisable for for someone suffering from gastritis,thats fo sure. Jokes aside, did the ice cream remind you some flavors in viale Marconi? Ciao.
Grek foods are very popular nowadays in Turkiye . Turkish tourists show bills from Greek restaurant on social media. Definitely better as quality and price then Turkish 😂😂😂 our restaurant or hotels owner unfortunately they always raise prices and quality every day is worse
Hehehe, thank you for your honest comment. I read some news that many tourists from Turkey visit Greece now especially because of restaurants prices. 🙂
Its not just the prices. Greece has a very VARIED & RICH CUISINE. In turkey you don’t have a big Seafood Culture, no Pasta Culture, no Coffee Culture. They also cant eat Pork like Ham, Pepperoni, Bacon, Panseta, Gyro, Souvlaki, Cold Cuts, Pork Chops, Loins, Ribs. No Gamey Meats (Rabbit etc) & technically aren’t even allowed to eat Shellfish! 🤷🏻♂️ No cooking with alcohol either…its Haram. Whatever the two countries share is like a small subset of Greek Cuisine called: Poltiki Kouzina An easy example to prove this: --------- TasteAtlas Cheeses Top 100: --------- 🇮🇹 20 Cheeses 🇬🇷 19 Cheeses 🇫🇷 18 Cheeses turkey = 0 Cheeses Very different in Regional Tastes 👌🏻
@@AlexMarkTravel You're welcome. Its important to set things straight. I see a lot of disinformation coming of of turkey lately, almost like a nationalisitic propaganda that claims everything from the sumerians to pita bread...hilarious, to say the least
It was warm but nice, as there is plenty of oxygen in Crete and in the evening a bit of wind as well, at least when we were there. Plus enough greenery around during the day so you can always find some shade.
GOOD FOOD I DONT SEE SURF AND TURF ,MISSING SEA FOOD>SO NOT SURF AND TURF!!! As mentioned above, surf and turf involves a combination meal with both seafood and red meat. The “surf” part refers to the seafood, and the “turf” part refers to animals that feed on grass (cows). The red meat is typically grilled while the seafood can be grilled, fried, baked or boiled. ANYWAY GREAT AND DELICIOUS FOOD!!!!!!!!
Cretan typical food is not a seafood, but meat, vegetable and dairy produce. They started making and offering seafood due to tourism, since tourists expect to eat seafood on an island. 😅 And they miss all the real Cretan food, that's why I filmed only turf! Thanks for your comment and cheers! 🙂🍻
@@AlexMarkTravel My friend , with respect. Crete has a seafood tradition dating back to the minoans. Don't get me wrong , i loved the video , but what you stated is just not true. If you go to villages near the sea you will understand what i mean. And ofc i agree with the rest you said about the other products.
@@BoogieBubble Thanks for letting me know, and I suppose that you are right. Chania for example has mizithra cheese which is typical of Chania, obviously every part of the island has something of it's own when it comes to food, that's why it should be explored as whole.
@@AlexMarkTravel No, I will disagree! I am from Crete, I live in Heraklion and I inform you that we have been eating seafood here for thousands of years! It is also extremely delicious, just like the meat food. Maybe even better.However, we certainly consume more meat and vegetables, but the reason is purely economic. Seafood is more expensive!
@@vs1279 Thanks again for this clarification, Greek people (but not from Crete) told me that seafood is not the main food in Crete. 😀 OK, next time I will try the seafood as well.
@@AlexMarkTravel Yeah, I don't know who in his/her right mind, recommended it like this, but it is a big don't. The whole country is laughing. Salty and sweet at the same time...
@@Yiannis2112 Mizithra cheese is completely different than feta, so the taste goes quite well, especially with cinnamon. With sugar while it's hot goes well also. Then if you eat it cold with sugar kind of gets too sweet. But with cinnamon anytime.
Man, raki is Arabic invention Google it. Greeks also have their own name for it tsikoudia. And lokma has 4 different countries of origin, research a bit before you make comments like this. Cheers!
Turkish is a nomand mongolian thribe so the only cousin is: goat or sheep burried in the soil with fire on top,the animal also alltogether with the skin and the hair.What the turkish cousin is now, a mixture of arabic and greek byzantin cousin,of cource you gave your names in the foods,but that dont makes then yours
I'm sorry, but that's a nonsensical, egotistical, superficial comment... How about this: ‘It's Mediterranean cuisine, there are many similarities and variations in the different areas and everything is intertwined and complementary, since ancient times and before. Besides, the Greeks and the Arabs are ancient civilisations that have touched and influenced each other, not just gastronomically.... ’
@@michaelt1507let me add to Mongols had no Cousin like that, its called only Turkish because of 400 years occupation. Dont be Rassist and dont be Stupid First of all
Absolutely Not! turkey has too many religious limitations! Also, they don’t have a big Seafood Culture, no Pasta Culture, no Coffee Culture. They also cant eat Pork like Ham, Pepperoni, Bacon, Panseta, Gyro, Souvlaki, Cold Cuts, Pork Chops, Loins, Ribs. Nor Gamey Meats (Rabbit etc) & technically aren’t even allowed to eat Shellfish! 🤷🏻♂️ No cooking with alcohol either…its Haram Whatever they have is like a small subset of Greek Cuisine called: Poltiki Kouzina An easy example to prove this: --------- TasteAtlas Cheeses Top 100: --------- 🇮🇹 20 Cheeses 🇬🇷 19 Cheeses 🇫🇷 18 Cheeses turkey = 0 Cheeses They are not the same 👌🏻
Umm not Greel but Turkish. That islamd was under 400 years pf Turkish rule and they influenced every bit of them. Before that the Venetians controlled that island and theu never ate anything like that until the Turks conquered it.
@Aquarian55 We are talking about Greeks here, not Turks or Venetians...! Who influenced whom the most has to do with who had the greatest culture and as we know, Greek culture is "Olympian..." But of course there was also a mutual influence of all peoples under the Ottoman Empire and of course a relatively common development...
This is not greek foid at all😂they adapted from the tursks and arabs....why its not ? Because middle east existed before greece 🎉they changed the spices but the consept its same ! Great d beaches in corfu zakintos and crete by the d way
middle east existed before greece? Oh, don't you tell... Actually, tell me more about it, where? In caves and on top of the trees? Learn history brother before you throw stupid things around
