Historically, Ioannina<\/strong> <\/em>is well-known for being one of the most multicultural cities of Greece, being the main trade hub of north-west Greece for many centuries. Such a society, based on the co-existence of many different cultures, has incorporated various elements in its culinary identity. Gianniotikos<\/strong><\/em> (literally translates in Greek to \u201coriginating from Ioannina\u201d) Baklava<\/strong> <\/em>– a traditional local dessert whose origins date back to the first years of the Ottoman rule of the region – is a perfect example of this. Pistachios or almonds? Phyllo pastry or kadayif pastry? With Gianniotikos Baklava, you don\u2019t have to choose one over the other, as they all co-exist in harmony, carefully rolled in \u201cklostaria\u201d (long pastry rolls) to make sure it is baked to perfection and the sweet syrup is absorbed evenly, while remaining delicious and crispy.<\/p>\n Gianniotikos baklava<\/em><\/strong> can be found at almost every patisserie of the city and we strongly recommend you to try this unique sweet delicacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Historically, Ioannina is well-known for being one of the most multicultural cities of Greece…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":904,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[21,17,16],"tags":[23],"yoast_head":"\n
