Greece is a country bursting with flavours, which is why we’re delighted that for the first time Greece will have a dedicated area at the prestigious Taste of London festival in Regents Park.
To celebrate the very best of all things Greek, we’ve invited a selection of top producers, chefs, musicians and tourism experts to join us from 21st – 24th June at Taste of London 2012 to help bring a little bit of Greece to a leafy corner of Regents Park.
Festival goers will be able to visit our traditional Greek market where top food and wine producers will be pedalling their wares and offering a nibble and a sip of the best ingredients from across the country. They can also get the inside scoop on the best kept secrets and places to take a holiday – experts from popular destinations across Greece will be on hand to shed light on where the whitest beaches, most picturesque towns, top hotels and restaurants can be found.
Foodies in the crowd can learn from the best as top chefs Dimitris Skarmoutsos (from Greek Masterchef), Andy Harris and Tonia Buxton prepare exciting Greek recipes and take your questions live in the festival’s food theatres, and when legs get tired our market bar is a great place to stop for a Greek beer, wine or Greek themed cocktail.
From 13:30 – 15:00 and 18:30 – 20:00 every day at the event we’re running a free tombola with a further 300 prizes to give away. These include accommodation at Lindian Village, Pavezzo Country Retreat and Creta Maris hotels
Kyriaki Boulasidou, Director of the Greek National Tourism Organisation in London said: “From picture postcard islands and sparkling waters, to ancient cities and monuments, our country is home to some of the world’s most stunning landscapes, a rich and welcoming culture and is of course the birthplace of the Olympic Games! We look forward to sharing the wonders of Greece with festival goers and extending a traditional Greek welcome to all visitors to our Taste like Greece area”.
