The Dynamic authenticity of local flavors

Nektarios Ath. Farmakis

GOVERNOR OF THE REGION OF WESTERN GREEECE

Western Greece can become a great tourist destination, paying respect to its history, civilization and its natural resources; a land perfectly capable to attract high-class visitors from around the globe, as it offers multi-level travel and culinary experiences. In general, gastronomy is a perfect ground, on which we can build the future of Greek tourism; every corner of Greece is a different culinary proposal, with pure local products leading the way and offering a piece of the landโ€™s identity to the visitor, whether gastronomy is or is not their primary concern.
Based on that, we have included in West Greeceโ€™s strategic development plan the promotion of tourism combined with primary production and famous local products with Protected Designations of Origin;
Wine (Mavrodafni of Patras, Moschato of Rio), cheese (Feta of Kalavrita, Kefalograviera of Aitoloakarnania), gourmet suggestions (Avgotaraho-caviar of Messologi), and pure traditional flavors (Bostitsa raisin, bio olive oil), will be the main ambassadors of our idea of gastro-tourism.
We encourage every attempt towards a broad expansion of Greeceโ€™s tourist potential to new delicious territories, by bringing forward the authenticity of local flavors.


GASTRONOMY IS A PERFECT GROUND, ON WHICH WE CAN BUILD THE FUTURE OF GREEK TOURISM.
