Pies are among the most popular dishes in Greece and they are offered in a variety of shapes, sizes and fillings in almost every region in Greece.

Thanks to the locally produced fresh ingredients, the traditional pies that originate from the Greek islands or the towns and villages of the Greek mainland are truly unique.

What makes Greek pies truly special is the phyllo-sheets, which can be processed differently to produce a different texture. As for the filling, Greek imagination has created innumerable combinations.
