  3. Yiorgos Hatziparaskos

    One of the last traditional filo masters in all of Greece, Yiorgos Hatziparaskos still makes super-fine pastry by hand in his traditional workshop.

His wife Katerina encourages passers-by to watch the spectacle and try some of best baklava and kataifi they will ever eat.
