Greece earned significant recognition in the latest Taste Atlas rankings of the world’s 100 best food regions, with five Greek areas securing spots in the Top 10, according to tovima.com.
The first two positions went to Italy, with Campania and Emilia-Romagna leading the list with scores of 4.47 and 4.45 out of five, respectively—both celebrated for their iconic pizzas and classic pasta dishes.
Crete ranked third with a score of 4.42, praised for specialties such as dakos (a rusk-based salad), orange pie, caltsounia, and its distinctive “parallel roasting” technique used for meats.
Sicily followed in fourth place, noted for its famous cannoli and parmesan-influenced cuisine.
Greece’s strong showing continued with Macedonia in fifth place, the Cyclades in sixth, the Peloponnese in eighth, and the North Aegean in tenth. Additional Greek regions in the top 100 include Thessaly, the Ionian Islands, the Sporades, and Laconia, the latter recognized as its own entry separate from the Peloponnese.
