Nestled in the fertile heart of Viannos, the village of Symi is renowned for its exceptional green beans. Grown in nutrient-rich soil and nurtured by the area’s ideal Mediterranean climate, these beans are celebrated for their freshness, delicate flavor, and tender texture. More than just a crop, Symi’s green beans are a treasured ingredient in Cretan cuisine—featured in traditional stews, vibrant salads, or simply prepared with olive oil and herbs. Their pure, wholesome taste captures the essence of the land and reflects the rich agricultural heritage of this picturesque village. A visit to Viannos is not complete without savoring this local delicacy.
