Gourmet tourism opens up a new unexplored field of our country’s culture for both Greeks and foreign visitors.

While travelling in Greece, the land of antiquities of the sun and the sea, we also get to know the best producers and the products of each place. We taste their products at their premises and at the best restaurants suggested by the locals and we get educated on the idea of consuming Greek food.

Recognizing and demanding quality products brings growth to the countryside, where these products are produced, and gives incentives to young people with ideas in the field of production to stay far from big towns, while local communities acquire another important asset in attracting tourists.

Behind the products are the people; so getting to know the most important producers even in the most remote corner of our country reminds us of forgotten values such as craving, pride, and hospitality; timeless values interwoven with Greece.
