<\/p>\nLeading travel guide publisher Lonely Planet has announced Greece as the world\u2019s most sustainable food destination for 2021.<\/p>\n
The guide recently published the 2021 edition of its \u201cBest in Travel\u201d awards, which is different this year as it recognizes places and people demonstrating a genuine commitment to sustainability, community and diversity.<\/p>\n
Best in Travel 2021 features Greece as the leader in organic produce markets, prolific wild herbs and island seafood hauls.<\/p>\n
According to Lonely Planet\u2019s Kate Armstrong, Greeks have been green for centuries.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe age-old habit of growing vegetables, harvesting olives and preparing silky oil, and cooking up a storm with tomatoes, fresh fish and wild greens is the norm for most folk whether they live on an island or the mainland,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The guide refers to the fragrant herbs of Kalymnos, the octopus of Leros, the organic cuisine of Crete, the local lamb and homemade desserts of Delphi, the yogurt, bread and cheese pies of Mani.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lonely Planet\u2019s Best in Travel includes a number of categories including best sustainable storyteller, wildlife program, emerging destination, train journey, island, accommodation and more.<\/p>\n
It should be mentioned that the Greek island of Alonissos was recently included on National Geographic\u2019s List of the World\u2019s Top 8 Sustainable Destinations for 2021.<\/p>\n
Alonissos ranked sixth for its unique sustainability features and its well-preserved Peristera shipwreck that recently opened as Greece\u2019s first underwater museum.<\/p>\n
