Popular local foods include: moussaka, souvlaki, fresh seafood, and horiatiki (Greek salad) and Greek Yogurt.

Greek Yogurt: Timeless & very nutritional

Made of fresh milk curdled and then fermented by means of bacteria, yogurt has always been one of the finest products of the Greek farming tradition since the ancient times. Thick, creamy and super tasty, the Greek yogurt is made of pure sheep’s milk in small dairy units. In larger ones, they usually make yogurt with fresh cow’s milk, be it skimmed or semi-skimmed. They also add ingredients favoring health and growth for kids, or make it with strained cow’s milk (with the fat included ranging from 0%-10%) and milk cream, or even pair it with fruits and cereals as a desert to boost its nutritional capacity.

Over the past few years the Greek strained yogurt has conquered the world, marking a startling increase in sales worldwide.

Olive Oil

Greece is the world’s third largest producer of olive oil and ranks first in exports of virgin olive oil, which is the top-ranked olive oil classification category in the world. Although olive trees grow all over Greece the largest producers of olive oil are the region of Peloponnese as well as Lesvos and Crete Islands. The benefits of olive oil were known since antiquity. Homer referred to olive oil as liquid gold and Hippocrates noted its healing factors. Studies have shown that olive oil is the healthiest product among vegetable oils. It is loaded with antioxidants and protects from various diseases; making it essential for a balanced diet!

Honey

Certainly honey was the first – and for quite a while – the only sweetener Greeks had in their diet. While its importance dates back to ancient time, even nowadays, it remains the most prestigious sweetener. Honey’s nutritious values, such as minerals, vitamins, natural sugars, antioxidants etc., benefit our health and taste buds every single time we taste it!

Teas and Infusions with Herbs

A large variety of herbs grow in Greece. They are considered by locals as a natural remedy and have been used, since antiquity, mainly as pain-killers. Among the most renowned are the Greek Mountain Tea (sideritis clandestina) for its digestive, warming, tonifying and antioxidant effects as well as the Dittany (dictamon in Greek) for its spasmolytic, tonifying and anti-diabetic impact.

Acropolis of Athens !!

The Acropolis of Athens and its monuments are universal symbols of the classical spirit and civilization and form the greatest architectural and artistic complex bequeathed by Greek Antiquity to the world.

In the second half of the fifth century bc, Athens, following the victory against the Persians and the establishment of democracy, took a leading position amongst the other city-states of the ancient world.

In the age that followed, as thought and art flourished, an exceptional group of artists put into effect the ambitious plans of Athenian statesman Pericles and, under the inspired guidance of the sculptor Pheidias, transformed the rocky hill into a unique monument of thought and the arts.

Acropolis of Athens !! MadeinMycountry is a global platform that celebrates and supports local history, culture, art, and nature conservation efforts. For two decades, we have been sponsoring local museums, cultural organizations, travel destinations, historical sites and various cultural events around the world.

The most important monuments were built during that time: the Parthenon, built by Ictinus, the Erechtheon, the Propylaea, the monumental entrance to the Acropolis, designed by Mnesicles and the small temple Athena Nike.

Outstanding Universal Value

The Acropolis of Athens is the most striking and complete ancient Greek monumental complex still existing in our times.

It is situated on a hill of average height (156m) that rises in the basin of Athens. Its overall dimensions are approximately 170 by 350m. The hill is rocky and steep on all sides except for the western side, and has an extensive, nearly flat top.

Strong fortification walls have surrounded the summit of the Acropolis for more than 3,300 years. The first fortification wall was built during the 13th century BC, and surrounded the residence of the local Mycenaean ruler. In the 8th century BC, the Acropolis gradually acquired a religious character with the establishment of the cult of Athena, the city’s patron goddess.

The sanctuary reached its peak in the archaic period (mid-6th century to early 5th century BC). In the 5th century BC, the Athenians, empowered from their victory over the Persians, carried out an ambitious building programme under the leadership of the great statesman Perikles, comprising a large number of monuments including the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaia and the temple of Athena Nike.

The monuments were developed by an exceptional group of architects (such as Iktinos, Kallikrates, Mnesikles) and sculptors (such as Pheidias, Alkamenes, Agorakritos), who transformed the rocky hill into a unique complex, which heralded the emergence of classical Greek thought and art.

On this hill were born Democracy, Philosophy, Theatre, Freedom of Expression and Speech, which provide to this day the intellectual and spiritual foundation for the contemporary world and its values.

The Acropolis’ monuments, having survived for almost twenty-five centuries through wars, explosions, bombardments, fires, earthquakes, sackings, interventions and alterations, have adapted to different uses and the civilizations, myths and religions that flourished in Greece through time.
