Greece is a country with all-year-round sun, and a fertile earth that ensures growth of good crops every year. Therefore, Greeks use plenty of vegetables and fruits in the diet, including their breakfast. An authentic Greek breakfast consists of fresh, handpicked ingredients like eggs of the day, all sorts of vegetables and fruits, homemade pies, marmalades and baked goods.   

In ancient Greece, the most important meal of the day, breakfast, used to be also the most filling. Locals used to fill it with large amounts of animal fats to provide enough energy for the day’s labors

21st century finds Greek breakfast more sumptuous than ever. Millennials follow the latest breakfast trends in Europe and have included muesli, avocado and other modern breakfast items in their morning breakfast routine. Among the countless places that you can enjoy a good breakfast in Greece, there is a hotel in the heart of the country, Athens, whose unique breakfast makes it stand out from the others.
