The history of Turkish delight in Greece 

In Greece, the art of Turkish delight came from Istanbul at the beginning of the 19th century. The Greek delights makers, putting new elements in the classic recipe, placed the Turkish delights in the Greek tradition. Nowadays, famous Greek delights are those of Syros island, of Komotini, named sucuk lokum, and of Serres, named akanedes that are a variation of the classic recipe. 

According to the legend ...

According to Turkish reports, the Turkish delight was invented by the Turkish confectioner, who he should satisfy the sultan. Specifically, it is said that as the sultan shouted angrily because he broke his tooth while trying to eat hard candy, he demanded a soft dessert. Thus, the Turkish confectioner, in his small confectionery in the city of Istanbul, lit the cauldron, poured in water, flour, sugar, rose water, and citric acid. When the mixture became sticky, he threw it on a flat surface sprinkled with almond oil. When the mixture cooled, he cut it into cubes and sprinkle it with sugar. Somehow, rahat lokum was born.

There are other versions of the creation of the first Turkish delight, but the above seems to be the most prevalent.
