Fish are protagonists in coastal areas and in all Greek islands, and they are cooked in a very varied way to offer all kinds of dishes to each visitor.

They are accompanied by various dipping sauces with pita, which is the most famous bread in Greece. In some areas of the country it is accompanied by paximadi, a dry bread that is dipped in water before eating it.
– moussaka: a very popular and well-known dish around the world that is a kind of lasagna but that is made with aubergines instead of pasta to separate each layer. Apparently, from this dish came the idea of lasagna.
