From the earth and the sea comes a bounty of wonderful ingredients that have shaped the region's culinary traditions of Mediterranean cuisine.

Thanks to its morphology of 3 peninsulas, the long coastline and the impressive mountains of Holomontas, Itamos and Athon, Halkidiki is a fertile area that produces various agricultural products of excellent quality, such as olive oil & table olives, honey, wines & spirits ("tsipouro"), fruits & vegetables, dairy products, fish & meat, jams & marmalades.

This is the ideal place to enjoy the healthy recipes of the Mediterranean diet and savour dishes made from the purest and locally produced natural ingredients.

Whether is a cozy tavern or a gourmet restaurant, don't miss the opportunity to taste the fresh fish daily delivered from the local fisherman to your table, locally produced meat, fruits and vegetables that are cultivated in a natural way and of course, dishes flavored by herbs gathered from the surrounding hills.

So try the local products here, or take a part of Halkidiki with you and share it with friends.
