Onboard a small fishing boat, this yearβs Sympossio will carry us across the Aegean Sea βbeneath a glorious sunβthrough the thousand large and small islands peppering the peaceful waterscape with rare colours, flavours and aromas
For Greek islanders, eating patterns and habits have always been directly related to livelihood and sustainability, and it is these eating rituals that account for the islandersβ healthy and long life. In our journey, we will discover hidden treasure chests βon fertile plains or mountainous terrains, underneath the water surface or alongside the shoresβ filled with rare ingredients and centuries-old recipes and possibly get a chance to unveil the islandsβ secrets to longevity and wellbeing.
The majority of the Greek islands are found in the Aegean Sea, an area of 240,000km2 which reaches a maximum depth of 2,249M. The Aegean comprises 2 major islands and 6 island complexes:Crete (the largest Greek island and the 5th largest island of the Mediterranean), Evia, the Cyclades, the Northeast Aegean Islands, the Sporades,the Argo-Saronic Islands, the Dodecanese and the Ionian Islands.
