Greece has been consistently voted as having some of the best food in the world. It is delicious and diverse, and best of all, most of it is very healthy, which is a big part of why Greeks have one of the longest life expectancies. The Greeks are also the Kings and Queens of hospitality, and there is a plethora of places to go when visiting. These are our recommendations for bars, restaurants, and tavernas in Greece, as well as some beach clubs too.
