Gastronomy Days: Geographical Indication Greek


24MAY13 - 26MAY13

The basic goal of  "Gastronomy Days" is to form an original source of collocation of various elements, which constitute the heterogeneous canvas of contemporary Greek gastronomy: producers, creators, chefs, agencies, entrepreneurs, policy designers and so forth; which is worth viewing as a discrete cultural event, but also as a vehicle for cultural and economic rebirth for our land.

The interdisciplinary programme of events includes: A representative exhibition of products by select Greek producers; a programme of tastings and cookery by popular chefs (including a live cooking stage); events to publicise Greek drinks with award-winning mixologists; theme-based events focusing on the links between gastronomy, architecture, tourism and culture; actions in support of initiatives and to introduce particular local elements from regions such as the island of Lemnos, which is this year’s featured gastronomic destination; a special event for representatives of international organisations, foreign agencies, states and news networks, which will include the participation of Mrs. Maria Damanaki, European Union Commissioner on Maritime Affairs and Fisheries; presentations and open discussions concerning good practices in agricultural production, the use of new technologies, exports etc.

Benaki Museum, Pireos Street Annexe
