The ancient Greeks based their diet on the offerings of the land: fruits, nuts, honey, wine... They took every chance to organise banquets and celebrations to commemorate occasions, people, gods, days... This is the people that shaped not only the international cultural and athletic ideal but also the gastronomy and the culinary habits of the entire world! Our rich local production allows us today to adopt the culinary traditions of Greek antiquity, which make up culinary phenomena with personality, character and therapeutic nature. «The feast of the ancient Greek cuisine» utilizes in maximum the local production and makes us travel with our imagination to the tables of the Dionysian feasts, where the wine flowed abundantly and the ecstaticism climaxed the senses!
