3Pitarakia (Cheese or Herb-Filled Pastries)
Pitarakia are small traditional pastries usually filled with local cheeses or wild herbs. They are lightly fried or baked, creating a crispy golden crust.
Each family in Paros may have its own version of pitarakia. Some versions use soft local cheeses, while others use wild greens gathered from the island’s hills. These pastries are often served as appetizers or snacks with local wine.
