Sweets & Desserts

Greek desserts are a delightful celebration of rich flavors, traditions, and Mediterranean ingredients. From syrup-soaked pastries like pistachio baklava and galaktoboureko phyllo custard dessert to spoon sweets made with fruits and nuts, Greek sweets often blend honey, phyllo dough, nuts, and fragrant spices like cinnamon and clove. Whether it’s a simple rice pudding-rizogalo or a festive plate of trigona-almond pastry triangles, Greek desserts offer a unique blend of texture and taste that reflects the warmth and hospitality of Greek cuisine.
