In some dishes where minced meat is an ingredient, sometimes pork may be added as well, therefore, always ask the staff how the food is being prepared and about the ingredients to be on the safe side. Greek cuisine is delicious and well flavored, so you can choose to have seafood items instead if the meat dishes are not Halal. In some places, it will be even harder than usual to find Halal food, at times like this it is better to opt for vegetarian dishes. Don’t hesitate to ask if alcohol is used in food preparation as some sauces, dressings and marinades might be cooked with wine or other types of alcohol.
When buying sweets and desserts, avoid those that include gelatin since some countries use pork-based gelatin and cannot be vouched for.
