In Greek: σφακιανόπιτες, pronounced sfah-kiyah-NO-pee-tes
It is customary in Greece for local dishes to be given the name of the area or region where they originated; thus,sfakianopites are named for Sfakia, a lovely area of Crete. These cheese pies, made with ouzo, can be served as a meze with ouzo, raki, or tsikoudia (local spirits), as snacks, appetizers, and as a side dish.
