The gastronomic mosaic of Komotini!
If when I went to Xanthi, I indulged in a food marathon, in Komotini I admit it... they knocked me down! I traveled 750 kilometers from Athens to find myself in the city where the gastronomic tradition of East and West meets. Komotini is a gastronomic mosaic, due to the many refugees of different origins who came here after 1922 (Cappadocians, Pontians, Northern Thracians, Armenians, etc.), the Pomaks, and the Turkish minority. I am grateful that I traveled there, tried so many different foods, and through…the screen, I can share them with all of you!
✨ If you love Greek food, Mediterranean cuisine, and travel, this episode will inspire you to explore Greece through its flavors.
