Greece is a country made up of 6,000 islands, with only 227 inhabited. The Greek coastline offers beautiful sandy beaches and coves to explore.
Santorini, known since ancient times as Thira, is one of the most famous islands in the world. The fact that you can sit in front of the caldera, enjoy local dishes, a drink or a coffee while gazing at the remarkable beauty of an active volcano is priceless!
Greece offers a culture and ancient history displayed in museums, art galleries, festivals, and with traditional feasts. Discover the Parthenon, the Acropolis and Ancient Olympia, the site of the original Olympic games.
The Athens and Epidaurus Festival welcomes visitors to the country’s ancient theatres and hosts international artists every summer. The traditional feasts (panigiria) will give you a glimpse of Greek folklore and art; you will be impressed by the colourful costumes, the jewellery and lively dances performed usually on the occasion of religious local feasts. You can join in and dance along!
Greek cuisine is more than just “moussaka”, “souvlaki” and the famous Greek Salad; it offers a variety of delicious and healthy dishes that can satisfy both vegetarians and meat lovers alike.
Every region in Greece has its own traditional recipes! All based on pure Greek products and the simplicity that brings out the greatness. The recipes of each region, mountainous or island, eastern or western Greece reflect the every day life, the local economic and social identity of each region. Recipes are mainly based on fish on the islands and on meat and soups in the mountainous regions of the country.
Visit Greece and enjoy the many surprises that this land has to offer you!
