About Savor Greece

YouTube channel “Savor Greece,” aims to promote culture, hospitality, traditions, food, music, Greek tourism, and arts in English. As a born Greek, I share a passion for preserving my cultural heritage.

Some background on Savor Greece, I have already filmed and edited two seasons consisting of 22 episodes each. Currently, Season Two is streaming.

Savor Greece is an amateur channel, producing high-quality content that celebrates Greece’s rich history and traditions, reaching a wide audience with a desire to visit Greece and get more involved with our amazing products.

The general purpose of Savor Greece is to showcase the beauty of the Greek land, the traditions, and customs of our ethnicity in real-time, without a presenter, but with the authenticity of everyday individuals such as housewives, grannies, fishermen, farmers, shepherds, winemakers, and music instrument makers. I focus on real cooking, traditional recipes, natural cooking techniques, and amazing products from the Greek land and sea, with the goal of enticing people from all over the world to visit Greece.

Savor Greece is promoted through various platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, my personal website, as well as LinkedIn and Twitter. A new collaboration with Greek News and Radio Florida has started in May 2023.
