Meze, dips and snacks

The definition of meze is small bites, or in other words the first dish that stimulates your appetite.

In simple words meze, or mezedes – its plural – means the tastiest way to start a meal, and who can skip that?

One of the many things that the island of Crete is known for are the many olive trees that are the main resource for some of the most important ingredients in all meals and, first of all, of course, in dips and snacks.

Local appetizers are made hot or cold, depending on the season of the year, and using a variety of vegetarian and meat items, always made fast and easy but traditionally with fresh seasonal ingredients.
