Greek cuisine is “freshness”. With rich origins, Greek culinary
identity is based on a mix of different tastes combining spices
with healthy, fresh products. As the know-how was passed on from
generation to generation, the country developed a cuisine rich in
flavors and scents.
Discover tzatziki, a cucumber and garlic-based yogurt, pita,
souvlaki (combining pita and grilled meat) or moussaka- a meat and

yours to discover in this fabulous land, both in restaurants or on
deck of your luxury charter mega yacht. Savor the
specialty rich dishes prepared for you by the chef aboard your

And to accompany all the delicacies, savor a glass or two of wine,
the beverage of the gods. Greeks cultivate grapes in rocky,
limestone vineyards and their wines remain renowned for their
beneficial virtue.
One of the advantages of a charter yacht vacation is
that you are the one to decide on your next destination and to plan
your day. If you prefer to spend a tranquil day sunbathing on the

you otherwise.
