Culinary Athens

Greek cheese goes beyond feta, with varieties like graviera and kefalotyri made from sheep’s or goat’s milk. Each region has its own flavours, making cheese an essential part of Greek food culture.

Greek olive oil stands out for its rich flavour and high quality. Thanks to Greece’s climate and traditional cold-pressing methods, it is smooth, aromatic, and used generously in everyday cooking. Tasting Greek olive oil is tasting the heart of Greek cuisine.

Greek desserts are sweet, comforting, and full of tradition. From honey-soaked baklava to warm loukoumades drizzled with honey and cinnamon, these treats are a must-try for anyone visiting Greece. They are simple, homemade, and deeply connected to Greek family life.
