FISHERY
Picturesque lacy coastlines with crystal waters, salty fresh-air islands with great geomorphologic seabed diversity and climate variation.The Aegean Sea is one of the most beautiful seas in the world. Since the time of the Minoans, the Aegean Sea has served as a cradle of Hellenic civilization. It is also an amazing source of life hosting squid, crabs, oysters, lobsters and various fish species. It is a real paradise for sea food lovers, offering true tasty emotions and all the essential ingredients of high nutritional value.

such as the Iliad and the Odyssey considered fish a “lesser” food…”
