“Closer to Greece” by ΑEGEAN

Each month we prepare a special tribute
to one or more Greek destinations.

At AEGEAN we wish to highlight all over the world the reasons why each of our country’s destinations are so unique. This is why this month we launched a new initiative titled “Closer to Greece”.

With a series of initiatives in co-operation with local producers, each month will be dedicated to one or more Greek destinations. All our flights will be filled with images, colors, flavors and aromas from all over Greece.

More specifically, traditional local products are going to be served each month in all our lounges, as well as during all our domestic and international flights. Moreover, during international flights and more specifically in Business Class, the company’s cooperating chef, Mr. Sarantos has undertaken the preparation of an extra menu option, based on the respective recipes of each destination, which will be accompanied by a local wine, selected by the company’s associate, Mr. Lazarakis (M.W).

This initiative is further proof of the strong commitment of AEGEAN to support and develop Greek regions both through the offering of an extensive domestic network and through the implementation of actions that are beneficial for the local economies and societies.

The initiative has already been launched, with Lesvos as the first destination.
Until the end of May, all passengers will have the opportunity to get a really authentic taste of the island through traditional products prepared by local producers and cooperatives, such as Plomari ouzo, Castanelli liqueur, Methymneos wine, ladotyri cheese, marmalades, ouzo/anise-flavored cookies, savory cookies, ergolavoi desserts, marzipan desserts and olive-pies. Moreover, AEGEAN has filmed local tribute videos to be shown on board screens and on all available channels, so that more passengers have the opportunity to “travel” and discover the charming beauty, the flavors and the welcoming locals of each island.
