What Spanakopita is

Spinach and feta filo pie.

Spanakopita is listed as a dish in the Greece guide, where the index tags it mild and vegetarian. Treat those labels as a menu translation rather than the full picture. Portion size, garnish and cooking method change from one counter to the next, and so does the price.
