Greek food came third in this year’s list of the world’s best cuisines published annually by the popular online travel guide TasteAtlas.
The country was distinguished for specific products – particularly the fava bean dip from Santorini, olive oil from Kalamata and Laconia in the Peloponnese and peaches from Naoussa in northern Greece – and iconic foods like gyros, souvlaki, moussaka, Greek salad (horiatiki), pastitsio and tzatziki yogurt dip, with spinach pie (spanakopita) running closely behind it.
The guide also recommends restaurants serving well-executed Greek classics, based on readers’ reviews.
Italy came first on this year’s list, followed by Japan in second place.
