Lunch is the biggest meal of the day and its served between 1 and 2p.m. Breakfast is almost non-existent. Sometimes yogurt is served with fruits or a piece of bread with butter and marmalade on top. Dinner is a very light meal that consists of yogurt, fruits, or a glass of warm milk with a piece of bread.Mediterranean food and especially Greek food is consider to be the healthiest in the world. Its not only tasty but healthy and low-in calories. Greece is surrounded by water. Therefore fish are plentiful and are consumed by Greek households twice a week.Greeks eat vegetables three to four times a week as a complete meal. Every meal is served with a Greek salad and bread. In the islands, vegetables and fish are consumed seven days a week with the occasional meat dish once to twice a month. Cretans are among the healthiest people in the world and consume mostly fish and vegetables. Everything they eat they grow on their land. They are one of the friendliest people who enjoy life to the fullest.
