Gastronomos Food Festival 2026

Back for its second edition, the Gastronomos Food Festival takes over the industrial courtyard of Piraeus 260 for a grand celebration of regional Greek flavours. Curated by Kathimerini's acclaimed food magazine to mark its 20th anniversary, this two-day gathering brings together 20 of the country's most cherished regional tavernas, remote island cafes, and artisan producers. From open-fire cooking and live culinary demonstrations by top chefs to masterclasses in local olive oils, cheeses, and wines, the festival offers a generous feast where your ticket includes all food, wine, beer, and soft drinks throughout the event.

Saturday night culminates in a full-scale traditional Greek panigyri complete with live folk music and dancing under the stars, while Sunday turns the spotlight on creative contemporary dishes prepared by leading Athenian culinary figures. Whether you want to master local wine pairings or simply sample authentic bites from every corner of the mainland and islands, it is the ultimate shortcut to experiencing the depth of Greek gastronomy in a single weekend.
