Local Greek dishes offer unforgettable memories with their strong Mediterranean flavor and the aroma of summer herbs, and now foodies in China's capital can taste and enjoy them. Traditional Greek cuisine is on offer at Villa Flora Western Restaurant of the Poly Plaza Hotel through Sept 15. Greek culinary expert Michalis Maniatis and diplomats from the embassy of Greece attended the opening ceremony on June 16, expressing hope that the Chinese can have an amazing culinary journey and a taste of Greece summer.
