Our Local Experts say:

Turks and Greeks have lived together for centuries, especially in the area surrounding the Aegean Sea. The close cultural similarities between the two countries have extended to cuisine, and both produce delicious dishes.

Due to its close proximity to the coast and fertile land, Aegean cuisine is dominated by a liberal use of olive oil, herbs, fresh fish and seafood and many vegetables. Hot and cold 'mezes' (appetizers) are also an important element of any Aegean style restaurant menu.
