Lunch at Zygos on the island of Crete

Zygos - Authentic Greek Food

Later on during the day in Crete, I went for a walk with my brother and sister-in-law to go get some snacks and goods from a kiosk. We decided to stop and have some lunch along the way and found a nice taverna called Zygos.

I ordered a chicken souvlaki with pita bread and chips. My brother and sister in law both ordered a chicken gyro and we all shared a Greek salad with tzatziki. It's been great getting to have authentic Greek food in Greece itself as the Greek food I have had in the rest of the world does not compare in the slightest!

The Menu

The pita bread is so delicious and fresh and has such a nice hint of garlic. The same can be said about the Tzatziki and the feta cheese in the Greek salad.

We also had a great view of the snow mountains in the distance and had a laugh at a cute train that passed by which was transporting people.

We were also given free complimentary semolina cake after our meal for dessert.

After we finished our meal and left the restaurant we continued to get the stuff we needed from the kiosk and walked back to the hotel. I have been enjoying these kinds of walks as it helps me get in my 10,000 steps a day!

Until next time ...
