Samos Among Greek Islands to Promote Food Tourism

The Seventh International Meetings and Incentives Conference has met in Athens to discuss the topic of ‘Valuing the Food Experience’. The discussion included ways in which Greece and the Greek islands could raise awareness of local food culture and encourage culinary tourism, in order to improve the food experience of visitors such as those on a Greek island holiday.

Regional Cuisine Given the Spotlight
Part of the conference was devoted to looking at the regional cuisine in a number of locations around Greece and the Greek islands, to examine ways in which the region’s gastronomic heritage could better serve the tourism industry. The Greek islands of Crete and Samos were among the islands represented at the conference, and it is hoped that the inclusion of these areas in the discussion will lead to greater promotion of local Samos culinary traditions when attracting visitors to the island.

Samos Restaurants
There are of course a number of well respected restaurants on the Greek holiday island of Samos, and locals enjoying a meal at a restaurant are often joined by visitors to the island, whether they are staying at a Greek island holiday villa or, for example, a Greek island apartment. Many of these restaurants already feature traditional food on their menus and can be found in various locations across the island. The Poseidon restaurant in the village of Kokkari is one example, as are the Gialos restaurant in Marathokampos and the Sinadisi restaurant in Vathy.
