Offering a stunning view towards the sea or the award-winning private marina, Porto Carras’ restaurants hosted sweet and tender flavors, “as were our feelings, when recollecting the hot dishes of Greek cuisine, which dominated our lives and memories,” the resort said in an announcement.

The Porto Carras Greek Gastronomy Festival concluded with the recipes of pastry chef Stefanos Diamantopoulos, who is known for uniquely combining chocolate and Greek products.
