During the 10-day festival, guests are treated to a number of demonstrations, presentations, hands-on workshops and wine tastings. Greece has a remarkable culinary identity: a cuisine of subtle flavours, aromas and incredible diversity are influenced by the many regional styles cooking from within Greece, its geographic location in the middle of the Mediterranean bridges east and west influences. Greek cuisine is based on simplicity, local, fresh and seasonal ingredients and the flavours of Greek cuisine are heightened by the creativity of Greece’s contemporary chefs who have one eye on creative panache and another towards maintaining the integrity of Greek cookery.
