A trip to Greece is guaranteed to be full of meals featuring fresh, delicious fruits and vegetables. Some typical ingredients in Greek cuisine include olive oil and feta cheese, as well as grilled fish and meat. Other must-try dishes include spinach and cheese pies, called *spanakopita,* phyllo-wrapped feta, and *gyros*.
While on one of our escorted tours to Greece, you'll have the chance to try traditional flavors during included meals. Travel tip: Ask your Tour Director what their favorite local specialty is in each location and give it a try. They'll likely have recommendations for where to go, like a nearby *taverna*, or small tucked-away eatery.
Follow your taste buds on our [Food & Wine: A Taste of Greece](/guided-tours/food-wine-a-taste-of-greece) tour, which takes you from the mainland to the islands. You'll have the chance to go off the beaten path to sip local varietals in the Epanomi wine region, snack on small plates in Volos, and sample liquors including Ouzo, Metaxa, and Raki in Heraklion.
