Savor Greece Without Sacrifice: Your Whole30 Guide to Taverna Dining

Dreaming of a Greek holiday but worried about staying Whole30-compliant? You're not alone. Navigating taverna menus while avoiding sugar, grains, legumes, and dairy can feel daunting—but Greek cuisine’s Mediterranean roots actually offer fantastic Whole30 possibilities when you know where to look. Here’s your roadmap to savoring authentic flavors without breaking your reset.

The Whole30 Challenge in Greek Tavernas

Traditional Greek dishes often feature olive oil, fresh vegetables, and simply prepared proteins—ideal foundations for Whole30. But hidden pitfalls lurk:

• Ouzo-marinated meats (alcohol)
• Dolmades (rice/grains)
• Tzatziki (dairy)
• Grilled octopus (common soy marinades)
• Stews (like fasolada with white beans)

Pro Tips for Taverna Success

• Request "Horis zahar" (no sugar) and "horis tyri" (no cheese)
