In Greek, Koulouri is the bread ring, or just the humble bagel is an ideal snack for those starving between mealtimes. The origins of this iconic Greek snack can be traced back to the time of the Byzantine Empire. Koulouri Thessaloniki’s is the most famous as a production. But Athens also has its own Koulouri.
The small bakery opened in the early 60s, and until today it is an all-night bakery that sells fresh koulouri with sesame bread rings with sesame, reggato cheese, and raisins. It’s only takeaway. Classic Koulouri is the best cheap and healthy choice for breakfast with coffee or the best way to cure your hangover!
