Spinach and feta in layers of crisp phyllo, baked in a deep tray and sliced into hot squares, the Athens breakfast pie at counters across the city.
Spanakopita is the canonical Greek savoury pita, layered phyllo over spinach, feta and herbs. The bakery counter version became the Athens breakfast in the 20th century. Ariston on Voulis has baked spanakopita since 1910, the long-running takeaway behind Syntagma. Most central Athens bakeries (Takis on Misaraliotou, Venetis) run a daily spanakopita on the morning trays. Best eaten warm out of the oven before 10:00.
