Not many destinations have thousands of years’ experience as an international meeting place. But Rhodes and the islands of the Dodecanese have played host to almost everyone: Karians, Minoans, Mycenaens, Dorians, Romans, Genoese,
Venetians, the Knights of St John, Ottomans, the Smyrnians, Italians, each leaving in some distinct way their own brand of imbued cultural traits

During ancient Greek times, marks of origin belonged to the basic knowledge of every cook and gourmet. Antiphanes has written in the 3rd century BC: “ a cook from Elis, a pitcher from Argos, wine from Phleius, blankets from Corinth, fish from Sikyon, flutists from Aigion, Sicilian cheese, perfumes from Athens and eels from Boiotia.

Greece has been the shining example for the Romans, who in turn have civilized the entire European world and blessed them with products that were unknown to them until this time: dill, celery, watercress, cabbage, capers and asparagus, lentils, beans and peas, fennel and endives.

The Greek kitchen has not lost its attraction and vitality, proved by the so-called famous Mediterranean diet that has been shown to be one of the healthiest. High in fresh vegetables, fruit, cereals and legumes, virgin olive oil, fish, garlic, onions and wine, low in red meat, dairy products and carbohydrates.
