  • Cretan food, fresh from the farmers market in Kolymbari, Crete is what Mediterranean Diet dreams are made of. Take a Crete food tour with George Zikos, one of Mediterranean Living’s recipe developers and food bloggers.
    The Mediterranean Diet is one of the healthiest diets in the world. And, the Greek island of Crete is a great place to explore this traditional, healthy diet. The unique climate of Crete allows everything to grow in abundance.
    Wherever you travel in Crete, you are surrounded by olive trees. Cretans consume the most olive oil of anybody in the world. This is one of the keys to their extremely healthy way of life.
    The Cretan diet consists of lots of olive oil, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and small amounts of meat and fish. Cretans also consume moderate amounts of wine and Raki, the local aperitif.
    They cook everything in olive oil and they hardly use butter. Butter is used for certain dishes and special occasions like rice pilaf. Could this way of eating explain why Cretans have some of the lowest rate of heart disease in the world? This is certainly part of it.
