yiaoúrti

γιαούρτι

Græsk yoghurt med honning og valnødder

They may sell 'Greek yogurt' (which unlike other yogurts, is strained, (στραγγιστό γιαούρτι, strangistó yioúrti) so thicker and richer than regular yogurts) everywhere, but Greek yogurt in Greece is twice as thick and rich, especially if you find a specialist dairy shop. The marriage of Greek yogurt and Greek honey, with a few walnuts on top, is a marriage made in heaven.
