6Travel Like a Local with Seasonal Food

Greek cuisine is deeply tied to the seasons. In winter, instead of the lighter summer salads and grilled seafood, expect hearty stews, roasted meats, lentil soups, and seasonal greens like horta.

Olive oil harvest happens between October and December, meaning you can taste freshly pressed oil straight from local producers. Pair these with robust reds and whites from Greece’s vineyards, which stay open for tastings year-round.
