An excellent Greek gyros enjoyed in Piraeus.
Gyros is one of the most famous street foods in the world. Wherever you go in Greece, you either eat fresh fish or, to spend less, you can opt for this type of food. Meat, vegetables, chips and sauces; all wrapped up in a rolled up bread disc.
I took these two beautiful photos in a take away near the port of Piraeus, the port of Athens.

Gyros is a typical dish of Greek cuisine, generally based on pork, popular in Greece and Albania (with the name of sufllaqe) as street food. In taverns and inns it can also be found served on a plate. The cooking is similar to that of kebab and takes place on a vertical spit on which slices of meat are skewered one on top of the other, previously marinated or seasoned with spices and herbs; this rotisserie rotates on itself near an electric (or gas) grill brought to an adequate temperature. Once it has become crispy, the outer layer is cut into thin strips using an electric meat knife. Finally, gyros is served on pita (gyros pita) or wrapped in it, with tzatziki (yogurt and cucumber sauce) and with tomatoes, French fries and onion to season it.
