Baklavas bite with Kataifi

Craving a sweet treat but can’t decide what to choose?

Baklavadaki or kataifaki? Kataifaki or baklavadaki?

Don’t worry, Kolionasios has the solution! The baklava bite with kataifi by Kolionasios is the smartest sweet combination of all time! So why choose between the two when you can enjoy both in one bite? In this absolutely delicious treat, the thin, crispy phyllo of the baklava wraps around the juicy syrup-soaked kataifi, with almonds and walnuts at the center bursting with the aromas of cinnamon and cloves, completing this exceptional sweet in a unique way. This treat is definitely worth trying, and you won’t regret it! 

A bite full of sweetness and history!

The battle of the baklava! The epic debate about where baklava was “born” may never have been resolved, but we know who makes the tastiest one! In this battle, the baklava bite from Ioannina wins by far!

When visiting the enchanting city of Ioannina, two things will captivate you most: its rich history and its delectable sweets. As you stroll through the patisseries near the lake or around the bustling square, the irresistible aromas of vanilla and honey fill the air, drawing you in. It’s impossible to walk by without indulging in the sweet treat that has become an emblem of local gastronomy—the iconic baklava bite from Ioannina.

A delicious version of the classic baklava, made with Beirut-style phyllo dough, almonds, walnuts, and aromatic spices like cinnamon and cloves, the baklava bite from Ioannina is an all-time classic choice!

The pastry-making tradition in Ioannina

The people of Ioannina have a long-standing tradition in pastry-making, with baklava being an excellent example of their craft. From generation to generation, local pastry chefs create this delightful sweet with love and care, adhering to traditional recipes and using only the finest ingredients.
