Montragon29 пишет: If you plan to travel to Thessaloniki (my home city..) make sure you ask for "gyros" and NOT "souvlaki". Southern Greeks(Athens mostly) when they say souvlaki they mean gyros(???). Gyros=something that rotates, in greek(literaly), Souvlaki= small skewer(literaly). So, a small pork or chicken kebab is called souvlaki, but strips of rotating grilled pork is Gyros...In Athens, souvlaki is also called "kalamaki" meaning small bamboo skewer...

Montragon29 пишет: The basics: Thessaloniki standards...Pita or bun or cyprus pita, gyros, mustard, ketchup, onions, tomato slices, fries, + all other condiments or salsas extra. Most stores serve BIG portions, that is large pita sandwiches...
Athens standards..Pita, (rarely bun or other..) gyros, mustard, ketchup, tzatziki, onions, tomato slices, fries? (not all stores serve fries).Much smaller than the Northern counterparts, most shops use very little fries and the pita sandwiches are smaller..and compacted.

However if you want to experience roasted whole lambs on spits, or kokoretsi then a trip to Greece during our Easter holidays will leave most people drooling ...Also the areas of Thessalia(central Greece) and Pelloponisos(southern parts of Greece) are all experts on spit roasted lambs or goats all year round...Thanx for reading..

Gyros stands in layers and has much more originality in pieces than the plain kebab...u can smash 10 cats or dogs, process it and sell it as kebab...but you cannot do this with Gyro, cause it has pieces inside due to the variety of layers..
tip : Gyros = Round, Turn

Montragon29 пишет: OK.. lets get some things straight... What foreigners call "Gyros" is actually Turkish Doner Kebab made from lamb minced meat because their religion forbids them to eat pork... In Greece Gyros is made from pork cuts, seasoned, skewered and grilled on a vertical spit.And it is the standard in Greece... Also, there are variations between Northern greece and Southern Greece. Lamb chops are a universal delicacy and my mouth is watering right now...
