I've never been an overly adventurous eater but I've really been trying to taste a lot of new foods since I've been in Greece. The traditional Greek diet is quite focused on pork, lamb and seafood, with plenty of tomatoes, cucumber, cheese (feta and others) and they serve french fries with nearly every meal!
Dining out in Antiparos has been great - there are a heap of restaurants and we tried a lot of them, and every few nights we did a cheap meal of gyros, which is the Greek equivalent of a kebab - pork or chicken with tomato, french fries, red onion and tzatziki wrapped in a pita bread - delicious and only roughly $3 NZ!
Local beer is relatively cheap in restaurants, the same price as Coke in many!
And the salads were full of the good stuff - no lettuce filler, all veges and feta!
Most nights we could have a meal, a beer and share a starter between a couple of us for less than 10 Euros, and at many restaurants you were treated to a complimentary dessert - this was more common in Santorini and Naxos than in Antiparos. The Greeks are so hospitable - when we would go to the pub we were always supplied with free chips or peanuts and more often than not, rounds of shots were handed out on the house too!
