Travel in Greece to live a Christmas food experience.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Northern Greece – Thrace<\/h3>\n

Msoura is the traditional Christmas food of Melissochori in Thessaloniki. It is a trilogy of pork, beef and chicken braised with vegetables and rice in the oven.<\/p>\n

Sarmades (Pontian cabbage rolls) is another festive dish that has a symbolic meaning as the wrapping of the cabbage leaves symbolizes the sparrows of Christ.<\/p>\n

In the northern regions of Greece, pork is often served with sauerkraut.<\/p>\n

No Thracian home is without the bambo (old woman’s day): pork with plenty of herbs and spices, which is simmered all night so that it is ready and warm in the morning, after the Christmas mass.<\/p>\n

Epirus<\/h3>\n

The festive table includes cabbage dumplings, pies such as kushmeri or hosmeri, meat pie, batsaria (spanakopita), milk pie and sweet pumpkin pie.<\/p>\n

In Ioannina, the wild boar salami and the classic baklava have their honour!<\/p>\n

In Zagorochoria they make “spargana”, a sweet that resembles pancakes and symbolizes the spargana of Christ.<\/p>\n

In Trikala, on Christmas Day, people used to eat “gournada” (roast pork) together.<\/p>\n

In Evia<\/em>, on Christmas Eve, they roast pieces of pork in the oven, sprinkled with plenty of salt, the so-called ‘kontosoufli’.<\/p>\n

In Central Greece<\/em> on the day of the holidays they eat pork with celery and chicken soup. Pichti and patsas are also festive delicacies, as are grilled meats.<\/p>\n

In Peloponnese<\/em>, the main dishes here are roast pork and meat pie, which is a Christmas classic, for example in Arcadia. In Sparta, housewives patiently shape the Christmas kouloura and make it cross-shaped rather than round. Each edge is decorated with almonds and walnuts.<\/p>\n

Ionian islands:<\/em> n the Ionian Islands, each region has its own unique Christmas dishes. From Kefalonia, we have ‘poutrida,’ a dish of cooked pork with seasonal vegetables, typically cabbage (mapa) or cauliflower (kavole), traditionally enjoyed on New Year’s Eve. In Zakynthos, Christmas Day features beef or chicken served with egglemono, while Christmas Eve is marked by kouloura or christopsomo, a flavorful loaf of bread made with oil, wine, aniseed, and walnuts. Lefkada is known for its rooster (cock) or beef pasta, and in Kythera, some still prepare the fasting pine cone stew, a hearty dish made with plenty of onions.<\/p>\n

Dodecanese islands:\u00a0<\/em> In Rhodes, “yaprakia” (dolmades) are served at the festive table, while on the other islands, roast pork is served alongside the turkey.<\/p>\n

Aegean Islands – Cyclades – Other Islands<\/h3>\n

In Samos, they eat pork and pichti, which was boiled pork with lemon, which was cooked with fat and eaten on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

In Syros a custom is to eat cauliflower or broccoli and fish on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n

In Mytilene they make platseda, sweet pies with walnut. Almonds and diples sweeten the festive table on all the islands.<\/p>\n

In Poros, pork with celery was the island version of the Christmas table.<\/p>\n

Crete<\/h3>\n

In Lassithi, fried liver is a traditional Christmas Day dish. The holiday table is never without pork, often served as pig\u2019s meat roasted in a wood oven with lemon leaves. The days following Christmas also feature an abundance of meat, including sausages, apakia, senglino, ‘tigari,’ and turkey, all beloved across the island. In Sfakia, along with the famous Sfakian pies filled with honey and myzithra, you’ll also find dishes like pork groups or ‘omathies,’ made with pig intestines.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]
