If gyros is all you have in mind to try when in Greece, then you do not have to come to Greece for that. You can find gyros next corner from your house , for sure.
There is an enormous variety of food to be tasted when in Greece, but unfortunately most restaurants do not provide them. Especially the ones in touristy places.
If you are really interested in Greek food you should try to find places that have cooked food and not grill houses that only have what you can get at home too. Usually small tavernas have at least 2-3 different cooked food.
Try gemista which is tomatoes and green peppers stuffed with rice herbs and seasoning.
Moussaka, which is aubergines with mince meat and besamel creme.
Pastichio, which is spaghetti with mince meat and besamel creme
Imam bayildi , which is aubergines stuffed with onions and herbs.
Bamies in red sauce, okra in red sauce.
Sardines or gavros on the charcoal. That is fish if you love it.
The list goes on and on.
My favorite for the summer period is a classic Greek salad with fresh ingredients, lots of olive oil and feta cheece.
