Greek Cuisine
Greek cuisine is based on the healty Mediterranean one, but is more enriched. This, along with the fact that the materials used are, most of the times, gathered by local producers, lead to a delicious and impressive result. Except for the "souvlaki" which you may already know and is considered more as "fast food" for us, try other dishes prepared with olive oil and vegetables. Accompany your meal or dinner with the typical greek salad "choriatiki" and with local wine or "ouzo" and finish with one of the original Greek candies.
Also keep in mind that Greece is full of greens and herbals, many of which are consumed as "medicine" for various health problems. Besides having healing properties, they are also considered as beverages for relaxation. Ask for them at the coffee shops and taste different kinds to discover the one which suits you best.
