Get a Taste of Greece on Tour!

Cuisine is not just a part of Greek culture, it is a lifestyle. Characterised by fresh produce and rustic dishes, expect menus to be rich with locally grown Mediterranean vegetables, freshly caught seafood, mezze platters, and tender lamb finished with aromatic herbs.

For a quintessential culinary experience during your tour of Greece, put these classic dishes loaded with local flavours on your travel menu as you wind through country roads flanked by olive groves and farmhouses.

Comforting Moussaka

Indulge in this layered dish of eggplant and lamb, baked with creamy béchamel sauce and finished with a layer of golden cheese to seal in all the flavours.

Platters of Succulent Seafood

Slurp deliciously salty tomato broth pooling around succulent mussels in their ink blue shells, crunch on fried sardines, or devour crispy calamari cooked to perfection and served with just freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Signature Greek Salad

Something to try on home turf in Greece! Made with locally produced feta atop garden-fresh tomatoes, green capsicum, red onion and crisp cucumber. Finished with a drizzle of local olive oil, a sprinkling of dried oregano and a handful of kalamata olives from a nearby farm.

Sticky Baklava

A sticky sweet dessert of layered filo pastry with chopped pistachio and walnuts, cinnamon and a rich sweet syrup to bind all the indulgent flavours together. Make sure you pack your stretchy pants!

Classic Aperitif

Once you have worked your way through the menus of the local tavernas, finish off with glass of Ouzo (an Anise flavoured digestive) with the locals. If you are on Crete, try the Raki.
