Greek island cuisine is generally based on local products such as fish and seafood prepared simply but deliciously. However, you may be surprised to learn that many of the traditional Greek recipes popular with the locals are meat-based. Greek cuisine is also full of cheese, olive oil and fresh vegetables. There are also plenty of sweet dishes and exceptional desserts.
