Discover Your Perfect Greek Cocktail

Launched in 2015, this dynamic initiative aims to capture the essence of Greece—its culture, landscapes, and traditions—through visual storytelling and multidimensional activities that promote tourism and authentic engagement. Highlighting everything from music and mythology to archaeology and gastronomy, the project paints a vibrant portrait of the country for global audiences.

Central to its mission is the creation of Greece’s most comprehensive Commercial Guide, showcasing modern entrepreneurship and innovation. Over time, research revealed gastronomy as the most powerful cultural connector. This led to the 2022 launch of two major initiatives: The Journey of Taste & Tourism and the Anthology of Greek Gastronomy. Both elevate Greece’s culinary richness and support sustainable tourism and economic growth.

The initiative has spotlighted regions like Santorini, Halkidiki, Syros, Kythera, Lesvos, Pieria Olympus, Rhodes, Kavala and others , documenting local life and celebrating community resilience. It honors culinary figures through awards and international promotion, forming a living archive-The Anthology of Greek Gastronomy A–Z.

In January 2027, the journey culminates in Athens with the 1st International Forum of Gastronomy & Tourism, uniting Greek regions and global stakeholders. At its heart are the unsung heroes of Greek cuisine—individuals whose stories and flavors connect Greece to the world.
