The Sweets of Macedonia

Try the excellent halva of Macedonia and the syrupy stuffed pastry sweets of Thessaloniki that originate from the East.

At Serres you can find wonderful bougatsa pastry and akanes, a sweet made with butter and almonds, and Veroia is famous for its syrupy, sponge-cake like ravani.

Central Macedonia is a fertile land with ample fresh fruit, which is turned into wonderful marmalades, compotes and preserves [spoon sweets], as those found in Goumenissa. Try them with cool, fresh-tasting Greek yoghurt for a wonderful, light and healthy sweet dish at breakfast or a snack between meals.

Unpolluted surroundings, good weather and lush vegetation mean numerous hives and excellent honey! You can find it in Sithonia, Halkidiki and many other parts of Macedonia.
