After the global obsession regarding “off the beaten path” adventures, it looks like an increasingly number of travelers is interested in culinary destinations, or rather they are focusing more than ever on culinary experiences when they travel.

To name just a few, Euro 2012 taking place in Ukraine and Poland, Montenegro, one of the season’s trendiest spots, Cyprus with its lovely blue-flagged beaches, the medieval flair of Croatia, the diversity of Turkey or the marvelous Greece are without any doubt some of the main reasons why Eastern Europe is a must for any traveler out there.
