7Heavy Mousaka at Midday

Mousaka is one of Greece’s most famous dishes, but during July and August it can feel extremely heavy under temperatures above 35°C. The combination of béchamel cream, potatoes, meat, and oil may leave visitors sleepy instead of relaxed for the rest of the day.

Mousaka is delicious, but often too heavy for hot summer afternoons.

Better option: Try lighter summer dishes like stuffed tomatoes or grilled vegetables.
