We\u2019re talking Mediterranean favorites like gyros, saganaki, dolmades, galaktoboureko and more.<\/p>\n<p>Orlando Greek Fest happens at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church this Friday-Sunday, Nov. 7-9, starting at 4 p.m. on Friday and 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free but you\u2019ll likely spend money on eats.<\/p>\n<p>Related Stories<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a
