During the lent you are always deprived of many things. But even when fasting, you do not need not be deprived of sweets. So, you there still is a way to sweeten the pain of separation from meat, milk, cheese, eggs.

The choices are neither 1 nor 2, nor 3, but 10 and each one is more delicious than the other. Entering Karpos, in Gladstone Street at the city center, you know that you will come out with enough sweets to... support you (mentally or in other ways) for the duration of the 40-day fasting. But if, after those 40 days, you cannot part from them, do not feel bad. These sweets are the most natural and healthy way for you to sin.

Gourmet surprises are many, but we counted 10 very special suggestions that stood out:

1. Traditional sweets and submarine treat come together in the same jar and become a combination from sinful as hell, while still suitable for fasting.

2. The classic honey nougat meets almonds, figs and cranberries and takes the taste to another level.

3. The fig stands out with its unique aroma. Fig paste, though, with aromas of orange and almond - lemon surpass any imagination.

4. Fig paste is upgraded with the addition of chocolate. Delicious coating of dark chocolate and touches of cocoa and nuts can make you renounce forever the brownies for the sake of this treat.

6. The dry fig continues to transform, since you can find it stuffed with many different flavors or covered with dark chocolate.

7. The selection of dried fruit can be a go-to choice for the fast all the time, and it is also ideal for weight control, with choices of nectarine and cherry and the most traditional plum and apricot.

8. Dozens are the unique Greek recipes, particularly traditional sweets, with flavors like chestnut and firiki apple, or a sliced orange.

9. The apotheosis comes with the tahini spread. Combinations with molasses and hazelnut or molasses and almonds, set some serious competition for the praline spread that almost anyone loves.

10. Halva, of course, always remains a standard option, with many different flavors to choose, from carob syrup to whole grain.

The most important, though, is that at Karpos all items are made in Greece, with genuine ingredients and recipes, while many are also organic. So, you need to know, that, if you are going to try them, you will need to have some plenty of time ahead  of you, to explore them all.
