"Which country has the best food?"
7. Greece: Traveling and eating in Greece feels like a glossy magazine spread come to life, but without the Photoshopping. Like the blue seas and white buildings, the kalamata olives, feta cheese, the colorful salads and roast meats are all postcard perfect by default. The secret? Lashings of glistening olive oil. Gift of Gods, olive oil is arguably Greece's greatest export, influencing the way people around the world think about food and nutritional health. Eating in Greece is also a way of consuming history. A bite of dolma or a slurp of lentil soup gives a small taste of life in ancient Greece, when they were invented.

One of my greatest memories of being a kid on holiday in Greece is taking a bus into the mountains of Kefalonia and eating a simple dish of feta cheese, tomatoes and homemade bread from the gardens of a very local taverna. There's a lot to be said for the Med.
