The Mediterranean Diet and Healthy Eating, at a Kalkan Table

The Mediterranean Diet and Healthy Eating, at a Kalkan Table

The Mediterranean diet is not just a diet; it is an eating culture lived for generations along the Mediterranean coast, and it is regarded as one of the healthiest ways to eat. So what is at its core?

Core principles

  • Olive oil as the main fat.
  • Plenty of vegetables, fruit, pulses and whole grains.
  • Fish and seafood several times a week.
  • Limited red meat and little processed food.

Why is it healthy?

Rich in unsaturated fats, fibre and antioxidants, this way of eating is widely seen as beneficial for heart health and overall balance, and it never sacrifices flavour.

The Mediterranean diet at a Kalkan table

Kalkan's fresh seafood, olive-oil meze and seasonal vegetables offer the Mediterranean diet in its most natural form. You do not have to give up flavour to eat well.

Build a balanced table

Olive-oil meze, grilled fish and a leafy salad make a light yet satisfying Mediterranean meal, a balance you can easily find on the Salonika 1881 menu.
