Greek Desserts That Will Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

Aside from the famous main course dishes we all know and love, an authentic Greek dessert is another staple of Greek cuisine enjoyed after a Greek meal. Greek desserts are the perfect solution to satisfy your sweet tooth and are primarily known for their rich and sweet ingredients, including nuts and honey. The most beloved Greek desserts include famous pastries and unique cakes baked and enjoyed for centuries. 

Baklava

This delicious dessert is arguably the most well-known Greek dessert and is loved by many. Baklava is delicious yet simple to make, mainly comprised of honey and nuts. The dessert includes phyllo sheets cooked to crisps, making the layers of baklava very flakey with a satisfying crunch. Each layer of baklava is perfectly cooked with a honey, walnut, and cinnamon flavor, making it an instant classic dessert after a meal. 

Loukoumades

The best way to describe loukoumades is as small, delicious doughnut holes that resemble the texture of fried dough. These bite-sized puffs are dipped in honey, cinnamon, and nuts and are easy to make! Remember that loukoumades are so tasty that it might be difficult only to have one or two, especially if you pair them with coffee or tea. 

Bougatsa

Are you craving an authentic creamy dessert? Bougatsa is the perfect solution, with its creamy custard filling wrapped in a crunchy phyllo sheet cooked to perfection. This pastry is a dessert and a good midday snack, no matter the time of day. If bougatsa doesn’t sound appetizing, be prepared to know that it can also be served with melted butter and cinnamon.

Fall Activities in the Boston Seaport

Fall is here—the leaves are turning, and the air is cooling off. During the fall season, the Boston Seaport transforms into an autumnal destination. With waterfront views, beautiful architecture, and fun dining experiences, the Seaport has everything and can make the fall season even more enjoyable. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, here are some great fall activities to check out in the Seaport District! 

Enjoy Breathtaking Views Along the Harborwalk 

For a relaxing daytime activity, take a stroll along the Seaport’s Harborwalk. This waterfront path is 43 miles long and offers breathtaking views of the Boston harbor and the city skyline. It’s a peaceful escape from the city hustle and bustle, perfect for an afternoon walk, a photo-worthy moment, or even a quick lunchbreak stroll. 

Boat Tours and Harbor Cruises 

Although summer is usually the prime season for harbor cruises, the early fall can also offer a different kind of magic on the water. With fewer crowds, cooler temperatures, and more affordable prices, a boat tour or harbor cruise in the fall offers a peaceful way to see the city. Most boat tours and cruises end in late October, so take advantage of that this month! 

Art Installations and Self-Guided Art Tours

The Seaport in Boston, MA, is a hub for public art, and fall is a great time to explore the creative side of this Boston neighborhood. Take a self-guided tour of the area’s outdoor art installations, including various murals, sculptures, and interactive art pieces. Much of the work is along the waterfront, providing a beautiful backdrop as you enjoy and appreciate the art on display. The Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) also offers free admissions on Thursday nights every Friday. 

Get Tickets to a Celtics or Bruins Game 

If there is one thing the Greater Boston area doesn’t lack, it’s a good sports game. Make your fall visit to Boston even more exciting by attending a live Celtics or Bruins game at TD Garden. Try something different with crowds along the Charles River at the Head of the Charles Regatta, where student-athletes worldwide compete in this renowned rowing event. 

Enjoy Fall Flavors at Seaport Restaurants

The Boston Seaport is home to various restaurants, many of which embrace the fall spirit with cocktails and dishes inspired by the cooler weather.
