I have tried them for the first time on my holiday in Santorini and I was sold. Finally I found the recipe online and the taste is the same.
4 ripe medium tomatoes (600 g), chopped finely, 1 large red onion (300 g), chopped finely, 4 green onions, sliced thinly, 1 cup mint leaves, chopped coarsely,
2 tsps dried greek oregano leaves, 1 tsp sweet paprika, 100 g feta, crumbled,
½ cup (75 g) self-raising flour, ½ cup (75 g) white spelt flour, ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda, 1.25 litres (5 cups) vegetable oil, for deep frying, 1 cup (280 g) Greek-style yoghurt, ¼ cup mint leaves, sliced thinly, 60 g baby spinach leaves
Combine tomato, onions, mint, oregano and paprika in a large bowl; season generously. Stand for 30 mins to release juices from vegetables; drain excess liquid.

Add feta, sifted flours and soda to tomato mixture; fold gently until well combined (mixture should hold together and will look quite chunky). Drop ⅓ cup of mixture at a time, leaving space between them, onto a baking-paper-lined oven tray.
Heat oil in a medium heavy-based saucepan to 180 C (or until a cube of bread browns in 15 secs).
Carefully place six of the fritters into the oil at a time, ensuring they don’t stick to the base of the pan. Cook for 1½ mins on each side or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined tray; drain. Repeat cooking in batches until all fritters are cooked.
Mix yoghurt and mint in a small bowl; season to taste.
Serve hot fritters with minted yoghurt and spinach leaves.
