Lucky for you, Croatia and Greece both have some of the tastiest meals to enjoy! After all, what is a holiday without a little bit of culinary indulgence? Here are our top restaurants in Croatia and Greece to tease your tastebuds with what to expect on our routes. Let's dig in!

Hora Farm, Hvar Island

What do you get when you mix rich history, sublime natural surroundings, mouth-watering food, and fantastic wine? You get Hora Farm.

A designated UNESCO-protected site, Hora Farm is an organic vineyard surrounded by bright fields and high mountains overlooking Stari Grad. It has delicious local wines and farm-to-table meals honouring traditional foods and the land where it's grown.

You'll taste varietals specific to Hvar Island at the farm and learn about their uniqueness as you await their peka dish, a Croatian cultural meal. Peka is lamb, veal, or octopus slow-cooked with vegetables, then sealed in an iron skillet under hot coals for four hours. Dig into the succulent meal and sip amazing wines at sunset while learning about the history of Stari Grad Plains. By far one of our favourite culinary experiences.

Thomas’s Place, Kalami Greece

This traditional seafront taverna sits overlooking the beautiful bay of Kalami and is one of the most sought-after restaurants in the Ionian. Thomas's Place graces our list of top restaurants in Croatia and Greece for the unmatched Corfiot cuisine and lovely hospitality.

Have a drink while you look out over the bay sitting in the classic taverna or at a table on the beach. Start with Greek classics like fried feta, tzatziki, or fried calamari. After, move on to the mains, such as their famous moussaka or their freshly caught seafood like grilled octopus, king prawn saganaki, or mussels cooked in garlic and butter. Just beware, you may need to roll yourself home after.
