Famous Turkish Bagel To Be Sold in Greece Soon
By Marianna Tsatsou on August 2, 2012 in News


Representatives of the Turkish Simit Sarayi stores announced their intention to introduce one of their most successful products into the Greek market soon.

The Turkish officials of the Simit Sarayi firm, which means Bagel Palace in the English language, stated that they will soon organize an inauguration ceremony for their first Greece-based store in downtown Athens in Syntagma Square.

Simit Sarayi has over 200 stores all over Turkey and several other branches in European cities.

By the end of the year, we will have opened our new store in Syntagma, told director Evren Akdeniz to Turkish Greek News website. Mr Akdeniz, who is currently in Athens, added that they intend to establish more stores in Omonia Square, Monastiraki, Piraeus as well as in Thessaloniki.

In response to the question why they want to establish many new stores in Greece during a period that the country is facing many financial problems and hundreds businesses are closing down, Mr Akdeniz replied that we are used to tough times; Greek people are not. We planned to open new stores in Greece before the crisis but we still believe the country is going to overcome problems.

Within the next two years, the Turkish company will make efforts to establish 500 stores all over Europe. As a result, almost 100,000 jobs will be offered till 2019.

What are you talking about? I used to have this as a kid 2 decades ago and it goes back thousands of years. A circular piece of bread with sesame on it is not quantum-mechanics you know.

It's now anything new in Greece, actually I had one just yesterday (good snack to kill minor hunger, pretty tasty thanks to the sesame and relatively low on calories)

psimithi = simit

Why the name of your ex prime minister is Kostas Simitis ?

Couldn't it be Psimitis ?

Sorry but most Simit = Greek Koulouri I have eaten in Turkey has been a disappointment. They were dry and almost burnt as seen on your pics of Turkish Simits.

IMO you don't know how a good Koulouri tastes unless you have tried a Koulouri from Thessaloniki:

Simitis ~ Semite. His last name probably indicates that he has a Jewish background.

@Imbecile TurkoArabs

Koulouri is nothing new to Greece. It has existed since forever.





Hellas, Hellas, n tav n epi tas

Lol, this thread has back-fired real nice...

...btw _Anthropos_, I actually like it better when it's a little bit crunchy (not very crispy to the point of not being able to bite through it of course, but you get the point)
