Buongiorno guys, it's Max Ginestra. Today is our last day here in Athens and we're gonna make it explosive. Andiamo! Hello! For breakfast, we came to a very legendary place here in Athens to have Souvlaki Souvlaki for breakfast This is pork then you've got tomatoes inside homemade tomato sauce that's what makes it so special onion, parsley and fries Buon appetito Oh, it's all about the tomato sauce It's a bit sour, sweet The bread is fresh The meat is juicy, tender He didn't add any salt It's I think the best way to start the day Unusual breakfast After the Souvlaki, take a look This illegal modern-style Loukoumades These fried dough balls smothered completely in pistachio cream Is this illegal? Yes, I think so This place got really popular I think for the new kind of style that they invented Alright, let's try it out Mamma mia! They're super crunchy and doughy on the inside and soft They're completely swimming in pistachio I have to be honest with you I thought at the beginning before coming to this place that it was going to be a tourist trap Oh, but actually The pistachio is super good The Loukoumades are Loukoumades are very nice Actually a good surprise If you want something different, you
better come and check out this place We came to a very beautiful restaurant right at the city center of Athens and take a look at what we have As a starter, we have pastrami with chili and the local cheese Then we have scrambled eggs with Kavurma, Sujuk and chili I think a bit of tomatoes as well Moving on Oh, wow! This looks incredible! This is smoked mackerel served with some lemon, a bit of salad, onion and then meatballs with tomato sauce, a bit of bread, potatoes, eggplant dip, and maybe yogurt Alright, I'm super hungry I'm literally mouthwatering Let's start!
