The Aegean islands encompass over 2000 islands scattered throughout the Aegean Sea, located between mainland Greece and Turkey. Each island has its own distinct character, but all share a common love for good food and hospitality. The warm climate and fertile land make these islands ideal for growing a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs that are used in traditional dishes.
One of the most popular dishes on the Aegean islands is grilled or fried fish. Due to their location by the sea, fresh fish is readily available and often served! Join eatwith hosts for a unique culinary experience, from cooking classes, to dinners, or food tours.
