SOUVLAKI

Souvlaki is a popular Greek food available in restaurants along the way. The dish is well cooked with seasoned meat and then flavored with tzatziki sauce. In Greek, Souvlaki means "spit-roasted meat". The Greeks call Souvlaki any kind of meat wrapped in pita. They somehow distinguish the name from the meat that is used. For example, Souvlaki with pork skewers or Souvlaki with chicken Gyros.
