Hi
Off on a cruise next month (one of the daily express bargin ones!) get to spend time in Corfu, Athens, Santorinni and Katakolon. As ive heard veggie food on the ship is not great i know Greek food is ususlly good for veggies.
Just wondering if anyone knows of veggei/vegan cafes etc in Corfu/Santorrini/Athens/Katakolon. Im 90% vegan so hope i find something other that salad and chips!

I've been going to greece for years now and things have definitely improved for us veggies. You'll find many tourist restaurants now offer veggie options on the menu - traditional dishes such as Moussaka without the meat or a mixed plate (a sort of mini mezze of veggie greek dishes) are quite common. Even if you're in a small taverna there's plenty of smaller plates/starters that are vegetarian and i've often just ordered a selection of these to share.
I can't recommend any restaurants specifically as I do't know the places well enough, but just wanted to reassure you that I lived in Greece for 6 months and am a veggie who is quite fussy about dairy products (however being vegan would mean no Feta so not quite as strict as you) but I certainly didn't starve.
My faves were veggie moussakas, peppers, tomatoes or vine leaves stuffed with seasoned rice, and borlotti beans (I think) ina gorgeous tomato sauce.
A lot of the more touristy places have all sorts of international restaurants too, amd Greeces history is quite closely linked to Italy, so things like Spaghetti Neoploitan (the plain tomato sauce) and pizza are widely available too.
Hi thanks for replys, am sure il find something to eat! Its such a pain not being able to eat eggs as it rules out my fave fresh pasta but i can eat pizza if i remove most of the cheese! feta should be ok in small amounts as its from sheeps milk and its cows milk im intollerant to. I love stuffed peppers and the vine leaves, meze dishes will be great as i dont eat much in the heat.
