Yogurt Instead of Ice Cream

A new dessert place has opened up in Athens and I think it's one of those brilliant ideas that I'm suprised hasn't been around for a long time already.  The place is called "Fresko", and their specialty is Greek yogurt.  Right now, all over Athens, you can find gelato and ice cream places, but as far as I know this is the only yogurt place.  Sure ice cream is great, but most of these places aren't that different or better than one another.  More importantly, although Greek ice cream is tasty, it's not really a great representation of the country.

Fresko takes something that is truly Greek and gives it a tourist/modern twist.  The best way to describe this place is to say it's like an ice cream sundae bar, but with yogurt instead.  They have several varieties of yogurt, to choose from, I went with the tradition Greek yogurt and it was spectacular.  If you've never tried Greek yogurt in Greece, you're in for a pleasant surprise.

The topping slection is also worth note.  They have several different types of honey, preserved fruits, nuts, and a few sweet choices as well.  I suggest the pine honey and walnuts.

If you want to sample a real Greek food experience, yogurt is a must.  Fresko allows you to taste the high quality yogurt, with traditional flavours, but in a modern way.
