Among the variety of local pastries, it is important to mention akane. It is a special type of locum that is made only in Athens and several other Greek cities. Opposite to the classical locum, this variety is cooked with butter. It makes the taste of akane softer and tenderer, and, of course, adds a special buttery taste to the popular pastry. It is possible to purchase small boxes with akane in virtually any shop in Athens. However, many prefer to head to local markets as they can sample akane before buying it. Many national cuisine restaurants in Athens still cook the majority of food in old stone ovens because this way traditional products taste in an absolutely incredible way. Pastries cooked in such ovens taste exceptionally amazing. By the way, many local pies are cooked from the special filo dough.
