Greek television programming features regional culinary themes

Greek television networks are highlighting regional gastronomy and local products through various programs scheduled for the week of October 26, 2026.

On ERT1, the program ‘POP Mağeiriki’ with Andreas Lagos explores the culinary traditions of Tinos and Chalkidiki. The episode features journalist Giannis Mamouzelos and focuses on Tinos potatoes and Chalkidiki feta. The show visits Livadi on Tinos to discuss how local soil and sea winds affect potato flavor, and travels to Agios Antonios in Thessaloniki to showcase traditional recipes from local agricultural cooperatives.

Meanwhile, ANT1’s ‘Kati Psinei’ moves its production to Thessaloniki. The competition features five participants—Nathalie, Kiki, Selim, Vanessa, and Giannis—who compete for a 2,500 euro prize. The program introduces a ‘red phone’ element that delivers unexpected culinary missions and time constraints to the contestants, starting with Nathalie in Neo Rysio.
