Basic ingredients of the Greek gastronomy
Do you want to know why the Greek cuisine is one of the most famous in the world?
Greek cuisine has 4 secrets: good quality fresh ingredients, correct use of flavourings (herbs) and spices, the famous Greek olive oil and simplicity.
Most vegetables are cultivated in natural ways and they therefore maintain their aroma and their flavour. You will be happy and content after tasting a Greek tomato, cabbage, carrot, onion, parsley and garlic. At the same time, you should not forget the rich flavour and aroma of fresh Greek fruits, such as grapes, apricots, peaches, cherries, melons, watermelons, etc.

At the same time, you should not forget the rich flavour and aroma of fresh Greek fruits, such as grapes, apricots, peaches, cherries, melons, watermelons, etc.
Greek olive oil deserves a special note. It accompanies almost all Greek dishes, it is used abundantly in most of them, it is of excellent quality and it is very good for your health. It is also known that artificial cultivation of vegetables is not carried out due to the mild Greek climate.
The Aegean and Ionian Seas are crystal clear and rich with fish. Fresh fish on the grill is considered to be a true delight.

As far as flavourings (herbs) are concerned, which almost very Greek gathers from the hills and the countryside, they are renowned for their gustativeness, aromas and curative properties. As you taste some of the many different dishes, you will be mesmerized by the amazing aroma of oregano, thyme, mint and rosemary.
Do not forget to also try the Greek cheeses, especially feta cheese. Taking as fact that the sheep and goats are free-ranging and the pastures are especially lush and green, Greek meat has a unique taste that cannot be compared. Mediterranean seafood is much tastier than those from the oceans.

Christmas delights in Greece! Merry Christmas!
Sweet teasers with cinnamon and honey
One cannot leave a table satisfied unless they have felt the pleasure of sweetness on their tongue. Honey is a symbol of abundance and that makes it indispensible for the Christmas table.
Greeks enjoy it with pancakes,díples, and melomakárona. In the city of Volos, they are baklavá lovers, whereas on Corfu they skip honey to sweeten their palates with Christmas pudding.
Sweet pies with walnuts (called platséda) await the diners on Lesvos, whereas the area of Kavala honours those famous butter and almond biscuits dusted with powdered sugar named kourampiédes. A version of those is peculiar to Samos by the name of katádes.
