The defining characteristic of this style of cooking is that it uses local fresh ingredients resulting in dishes which are both substantial yet not too heavy and with great flavours. The fertile environment produces a great assortment of excellent vegetable produce as well as quality olive oil and an assortment of spices. All these contribute to a diet which is healthy and varied.
It’s not surprising that fish and seafood are an important fixture of these coastal towns. Most is locally and responsibly sourced. In local restaurants you will be offered the day’s catch fresh off the boat.
