Greece's Gourmet Tapestry: From Mountains to Mediterranean
Culinary tours to Mainland Greece
Culinary Greece
Greece, a tapestry of terrains and traditions, blankets the southern Balkans, flanked by the Ionian and Aegean Seas. Encompassing around 131,957 square kilometers and hosting over 10 million people, it brims with the vibrancy of cities like Athens and Thessaloniki.
With its varied landscapes, Greece offers a unique adventure at every turn, from mainland valleys embraced by rugged mountains to the enchanting allure of its countless islands, each boasting distinct ecosystems and maritime legacies. Explore archaeological marvels like Athens and Delphi on the mainland, or set sail to uncover the mythic charm of the Peloponnese and the idyllic beauty of islands like Naxos and Crete, each promising endless exploration amidst dramatic gorges and verdant valleys.
Greek cuisine is a celebration of simplicity and freshness. Each dish is infused with the flavours of olive oil, herbs, and the Mediterranean sun. Fresh seafood, feta cheese, and vibrant salads are staples, and no meal is complete without a drizzle of local honey or a sip of ouzo. The climate is ideal to grow grapes for delicious wines such as white Savvatiano and red Xinomavro, as well as the refreshingly fruity Debina and the juicy red Kotsifali.
Discover other national treasures such as olives from Kalamata, pistachios from Aegina, or local cheeses anevato, kopanisti, and ladotiri.
Dining in Greece is a sensory experience, where the colours, aromas, and tastes of the cuisine reflect the warmth of the people.
