Souvlaki is one of the most iconic Greek street foods: grilled meat, usually served in warm pita with simple toppings and sauces. It’s quick, messy, delicious and incredibly satisfying.

In this guide we share where we ate souvlaki in Greece and the ones we loved the most, from the most traditional spots to more modern and vegetarian versions. They’re all different, each with its own personality, and all seriously good.
The best part? The last bites. That’s where all the juices collect, the meat becomes extra succulent, and suddenly you realize you could easily eat another one.
What we learned is that there isn’t just one way to make a great souvlaki. There are many versions, some simple, some more elaborate, and the fun is finding your personal favorite.
