Vegan Greek Dishes? Absolutely, Yes!
When you think of Greek food, you probably think of gyros, souvlaki and feta. But Greek cuisine also has a really tasty vegan side! Many traditional dishes are vegan by nature or are super easy to “veganise”. These include
- Fasolia Gigantes: These giant white beans in tomato sauce are a real vegan treat. Often served with fresh herbs and olive oil. You really must try them.
- Horta: Cooked green vegetables, often drizzled with olive oil and lemon. Simple, but super healthy and typically Greek.
- Dolmades (sometimes): Stuffed vine leaves with rice and herbs. Just make sure there are no animal products involved!
- Melitzanosalata: A creamy aubergine dip that is mostly vegan and goes perfectly with pita bread.
And of course olives, olive oil, fresh vegetables and delicious bread – the basis of many Greek meals.
There are definitely vegan Greek dishes that taste really good, even at your TUI BLUE hotel in Greece.
Why is it sometimes difficult to find vegan hotels?
Honestly? Although there are many vegan-friendly dishes, the explicit focus of hotels on purely vegan cuisine is not yet the standard. This is often due to the fact that:
- The demand for purely vegan hotels is not yet as huge as for “normal” hotels with vegan options.
- Many hotels are focussing on accommodating guests with different diets rather than committing to a purely vegan concept.
- Perhaps there is still a lack of awareness and knowledge about purely vegan nutrition in hotel kitchens.
But the good news for you: All TUI BLUE hotels in Greece offer vegan delicacies on the menu in addition to delicious classics. So you can’t go wrong when booking your vegan hotel in Greece with TUI BLUE.
Vegan hotels Greece: What TUI BLUE offers you
Even though there may not be a purely “vegan hotel Greece” in the sense of a 100% vegan establishment, all 13 TUI BLUE hotels in Greece offer a vegan menu.
What does that mean?
In addition to the “normal” range of dishes, there are vegan alternatives at every buffet in the main restaurant and these are well labelled. If the hotel has other restaurants, meat-free dishes are usually also available there. Even in the grill restaurant “Green and Grill”! If there is nothing for you, just ask the “BLUE Guide Kitchen”, who will always find a solution.
We therefore offer you maximum flexibility in your choice of hotel if you want to eat vegan on holiday in Greece, e.g. on Kos or Rhodes.
