Excellent Cuisine
Featuring authentic food that will make your mouth water. Dine indoors on gourmet foods such as pastitio, spanakopita and many more. Or enjoy the outdoor lamb roast dinner under the tents.
Additionally, enjoy the outdoor fast food tent for souvlaki, (my favorite!) gyro or Greek pizza plus much more. Don't miss the scrumptious pastries like the Baklava at Maria's. Enjoy coffee and Loukoumades at Kafenion's coffee shop!
The Shops
Take a stroll and enjoy the many fascinating shops. Beautiful artwork by Evangelia Philippidis, the gift boutique "Agora," and the delicious
Greek Deli featuring awesome foods, wine and much more. You'll also find a great Christian bookstore, jewelry, imported linens and leather and much more.
