In the tourist heart of Playa del Inglés, Gran Canaria, lies Greek Village, an establishment that for over twenty years has transported its diners to the Greek islands through its gastronomy. Far from superficial adaptations, this venue has established itself as a benchmark for genuine Hellenic cuisine, respecting time and tradition in every dish.
Founded with the mission to bring the true essence of Greece to the Canary Islands, Greek Village draws inspiration from the culinary richness of places like Crete or Santorini. Its motto, "Quality takes time," is reflected in the careful selection of imported ingredients such as feta cheese, authentic Greek yogurt, and Kalamata olives, combined with local products and ancestral spices.
Among its most acclaimed specialties are Kleftiko, tender lamb cooked for eight hours in the Cretan style; Gyros a la Metaxa, a fusion with brandy sauce; the traditional Mousaka, in both classic and vegetarian versions; and the stuffed Beefteki. For seafood lovers, they offer baked prawns with a flavorful tomato and feta sauce.
Desserts provide the perfect end to the experience, with delights such as filo pastry Baklava, the classic Greek yogurt with honey and walnuts, or the moist Karidopita. These sweets, also recognized with the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice 2023 award, complete a feast of textures and aromas.

Its usual opening hours are Monday to Saturday from 17:00 to 24:00 and Sundays from 13:00 to 24:00. Reservations can be made by calling 928 773 664.
