Food & Wine in Greece
Greek cooking is seasonal, generous and deeply regional — a handful of ingredients treated well, and a table meant to be shared. This section covers the dishes worth ordering, the street food that keeps cities fed, the wine regions bringing back native grapes, and where to eat in the places you are most likely to visit.
