FOOD

Olives & olive oil

Greeks have been cultivating olives for millenniasome even say
that Athena gave an olive tree to the city of Athens, thus winning
its favour. Greek meals are accompanied by local olives, some
cured in a hearty sea salt brine, others like wrinklythroubes,
eaten uncured from the tree.

FOOD

Moussaka
Variations on moussaka are found throughout the
Mediterranean and Balkans, but the iconic Greek baked
dish is based on layering: sauted aubergine, minced meat
fried pureed tomato, onion, garlic and spices like
cinnamon and allspice, a bit of potato, and then a final
fluffy topping of cheese and bchamel sauce.

FOOD

Fresh fish
Settle down at a seaside taverna and eat as locals have since
ancient times. Fish and calamari fresh from the
Mediterranean and Aegean Seas are incredibly tasty and
cooked with minimum fuss grilled whole and drizzled
withladholemono(a lemon and oil dressing).

FESTIVAL
Apokreas (Carnival season)

Some say that Carnival the world over

has its roots in Greeces ancient worship
of wild, wonderful Dionysus, the god of
winemaking, fertility and theatre. Today,
Greeces Carnival season is related to
the Greek Orthodox religion, and kicks
off three weeks prior to the fasting of
Lent (from mid-January to late February
or early March).

FESTIVAL
Hellenic Festival
The most prominent Greek summer
festival, theHellenic Festivalfeatures a
top line-up of local and international
music, dance and drama. And,
wonderfully, many of the marquee events
are staged at one of the worlds prime
historic venues: the ancientOdeon of
Herodes Atticusin Athens, with the
floodlitAcropolisas a backdrop.
