"Along the coastal zone, the pedestrian streets, most squares, the Upper city, the countryside and the beaches close to the city (Monodendri, Vrachneika, Rio) you will find many restaurants, taverns and grill restaurants of European and Greek cuisine to choose from. The city centre, on the other hand, is full of pizzerias and fast foods. The local delicacies are a blend of three different cuisines: the agricultural inland, the occidental cuisine with influences from the Ionian Islands and the oriental flavors brought in by the immigrants from Asia Minor. Patras is also proud for four of the 22 Greek wines categorized as Appellation of Controlled Origin and also for the fact that it is the first city that developed a wine industry in Greece. Today, Patras has made its name for a variety of small but high quality wineries scattered around the city.
Today, Achaia Clauss, together with 27 other local wineries, still produce excellent, high-quality wines, in the 30.000 acres of Achaean vineyards - thus preserving the internationally acknowledged fame of Patras (since 1990) as a winemaking city. Our region is widely known for the production of three wines categorized as Appellation of Controlled Origin and one wine categorized as Appellation of Origin of Superior Quality.
