Greece’s culinary scene is as diverse as its landscapes, offering a rich tapestry of flavors and dishes that have been passed down through generations. With Amathus Holidays, embark on a gastronomic journey that goes beyond mere dining — it’s an exploration of Greece’s soul through its food. Join us as we uncover the secrets of Greek cuisine, guided by local chefs and culinary experts.
Savoring the Flavors of Greece
Greek cuisine is a celebration of fresh ingredients, traditional methods, and the joy of sharing meals. From the olive groves that produce liquid gold to the vineyards that blanket the countryside, every element of Greek food tells a story of the land and its people.
The Island Delicacies
Explore the island of Crete, where the Mediterranean diet comes to life with dishes rich in olive oil, fresh vegetables, and cheeses. A cooking class with a Cretan family introduces you to the art of making dakos and moussaka, followed by a meal where every dish is a testament to the island’s bountiful produce.
The Sea’s Bounty
No journey through Greek cuisine is complete without tasting its seafood. On the shores of the Aegean, join local fishermen in the early morning, followed by a seafood preparation workshop. Learn to make dishes like grilled octopus and calamari, flavored with herbs from the hillsides.
Wine and Dine
Greece’s vineyards offer an array of unique grape varieties. Venture into the heart of Santorini or the Peloponnese for a wine tasting experience that pairs local wines with traditional Greek mezze. Discover how the volcanic soil and sea mist contribute to the distinctive flavors of Greek wine.
Street Food and Sweets
Athens’ bustling streets offer a culinary adventure of their own. Sample souvlaki and gyros, followed by a sweet tour where traditional desserts like baklava and loukoumades are the stars. Learn about the origins of these treats and the role they play in Greek celebrations
