Loukoumi is an important export product of Greece and can be found in candy shops and supermarkets throughout the world.One favorite Loukoumi version of mine can be found at a small family run shop called “Ta Geraneia” named for a small flower with a lovely fragrance. I love their coconut, but they make rose, pistachio and other flavors. The shop is located about an hour from Athens in the town of Loutraki on the Gulf of Cornith.
