[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]It\u2019s well known that Cycladic islands are spilling over with traditional sweets, made by passionate local people and based on old recipes that pass from one generation to the next one. \u201cLoukoumia\u201d, \u201chalva pies\u201d, marzipan bites, sesame bars and fresh fruit that are being transformed to juicy compotes, jams and preserves, are the ideal gastronomic souvenirs that fill in our suitcases as we depart from our dream islands and keep us sweet company during the winter, while we anticipate the next trip, the next destination. Naturally, the best and tastier picking of each land is being harvested every year and, in most cases, old methods and techniques are being modernized, creating more and more quality products that bring out the characteristic flavours of every corner of the Aegean islands complex.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″]

And this is evident not only in the superior quality of their products, but also in their constant presence in their shop, in the smile, the courtesy and the way they welcome each customer. Speaking by experience, it\u2019s their attitude that leaves the best impression.<\/p>\n
