Chomp on gyros, pastichio (Greek lasagna), loucanico (Greek sausage), spanakopita (spinach and feta pie), Dolmathes (stuffed grape leaves), saganaki (Greek brandy-flamed cheese), and baklava and loukoumathes (Greek doughnut holes) for dessert. Then digest it all with a stroll through the rows of boutique shops and carnival games, or if you're feeling brave, Greek dance lessons.
