1Amygdalota – The Island Almond Treat

Travel to the Greek islands, and you’ll likely be offered a delicate amygdaloto—a soft almond cookie made from ground almonds, sugar, and rose or orange blossom water. Traditionally served at weddings and baptisms, amygdalota symbolize purity and celebration.

Each island has its own version: in Andros, they’re shaped like pears and dusted with powdered sugar; in Spetses, they’re baked until golden and fragrant. They’re naturally gluten-free and pair perfectly with a cup of Greek coffee or a glass of sweet dessert wine. Light yet flavorful, they’re a must-try for anyone exploring Greece’s island culture.
