The AegeanCuisine initiative is a network of member-businesses in the southern Aegean islands whose aim is to offer visitors the Aegean experience. It was founded to utilize and exploit the wealth of Aegean oenogastronomy, highlight local products and wines, and to promote thematic tourism in these islands.

The philosophy behind AegeanCuisine

The Aegean islands produce an exceptional variety of products noted for their combination of flavor, quality, and uniqueness. Yet for some reason, they have not achieved the recognition or sales they deserve.

The Aegean islands offer excellent conditions for tourism that combine clean seas, bright sun, a long history, tradition, and multifaceted culture. Yet for some reason the tourism season is not of the duration and value these islands deserve.

The AegeanCuisine initiative was launched with the aim of exploiting the particularly wealthy Aegean oenogastronomy aimed at promoting local products and wines as well as to promote thematic tourism to the island. The AegeanCuisine initiative is a network of member-businesses offering visitors the Aegean experience.

The goals

• Highlight the Aegean as a region with a deep-rooted oenogastronomic culture.
