Souvlaki is a popular Greek dish consisting of skewered and grilled meat, typically served with pita bread, tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce. Its history dates back to ancient Greece, where it was known as kandaulos and was often made with lamb. Over time, the dish evolved, and today, it is commonly made with pork, chicken, or beef. The meat is marinated in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, giving it a flavorful and tender texture. Souvlaki is a staple street food in Greece and is enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. Some renowned restaurants in Athens, such as Kostas and Thanasis, are famous for their exceptional souvlaki.
