For many, Greece is a dream destination. And in fact, it feels like dream once you arrive.

Although for special diets such as vegan, gluten free and dairy free, it seems that it might not be the most accommodating place to visit. But I’m glad to report that it is quickly becoming a hotspot for delicious dining, no matter your dietary restrictions!
