Greek eating is generous and unhurried: shared mezze, char-grilled meats, lashings of local olive oil and the slow meal that defines the Mediterranean diet. Each region has its signature — Cretan dakos and rusks, Macedonian bougatsa, island seafood pulled in that morning. The taverna is the institution, where a carafe of house wine and a few small plates stretch across hours. Athens' historic central market still anchors the city's appetite, and Greece leads the world in…

Moussaka, souvlaki, Greek salad, feta and olive oil: Greece is the cradle of the Mediterranean diet, listed by UNESCO. Simplicity, freshness and conviviality.

Greeks are among the world's biggest olive oil consumers, with more than a dozen litres per person each year.

To taste: a neighbourhood taverna away from the tourist zones. With a data eSIM, find authentic spots and translate the day's menu.

Must-see

Varvakeios Agora (Athens)
Central market since 1886; meat, fish and Evripidou Street's spice and cheese shops.
Plaka tavernas
Old-town lanes below the Acropolis lined with mezze and grill houses.
Crete
Heartland of the diet: dakos, raw-milk cheeses, wild greens and estate olive oil.

Good to know
