Did you know?

  • The Greek spelling κρουασάν preserves the French sound but uses the Greek letter ν to represent the final nasal consonant, which is silent in modern French.
  • Unlike in France, where the 'croissant' is a breakfast staple, in Greece, a κρουασάν is more likely to be found in a 'ζαχαροπλαστική' or pastry shop as a snack.
  • In Greek bakeries, you might see κρουασάν paired with 'cheese' or 'ham' to form a common breakfast item, rather than just being eaten alone.
