Oregano (en, sp, de) – origano (it) – rigani (gr)

Since Naxos has mountains, you can go hiking but also search for herbs like oregano, thyme and summer savory. In this post we will focus in oregano.

I think everybody knows the famous greek salad (what Greeks say is “farmer’s salad”) that on top has a big piece of feta (if it is not big-you should know that it should be big) with oregano on top. Oregano is a herb that we use in our everyday cooking in Greece, it is versatile and like all herbs gives several positive points to your diet!

Oregano is also one of the herbs you will find on the patio of Yannis and Stella. Feel free to use fresh oregano in your cooking or drinking.
