Delicious Greek Treats

Let's take a look at local Greek delicacies, shall we? :) Greece is known for its abundance of flavors that have delighted diners across the world. But did you know about the three that are native to Costa Navarino?

Diples, figs and olive oil are all treats that hail from the region.

Diples are made of a thin dough, rolled and fried in oil and drizzled with warm honey. They're often sprinkled with chopped nuts.

Figs are the bite-sized, deep purple fruit popular across the globe. Biting into a fig, you'll encounter a sweet and slightly spicy flavour.

Olive oil is the most common of the three. Olives harvested in the Costa Navarino region are pressed for their rich oil, which is then enjoyed as a salad dressing, cooking ingredient or condiment.
