The deadline for participation in the international TOP FOODIE WEBSITES 2026 competition for the promotion of Cretan gastronomy expires on December 31.
Crete, the European Region of Gastronomy 2026, is opening its digital kitchen to the world and invites creators, professionals, and organizations to take their place at the international “table” of the TOP FOODIE WEBSITES 2026 competition.
The competition is open to websites, applications, blogs, or other digital tools that highlight the cultural and gastronomic experiences of Crete, offering the opportunity for international recognition.
The competition seeks modern, authentic, and experiential digital platforms that showcase distinctive experiences characteristic of Cretan gastronomy, such as:
Tastings, gastronomic and wine routes, visits to farms, wineries, and production sites, cooking classes and traditional recipes, hands-on craft experiences, food and wine markets and exhibitions, museums, and cultural heritage sites connected to food and nutrition.
Interested parties may submit their entries until December 31, 2025.
All information, terms, participation guidelines, and the submission form are available at:

Cretan gastronomy is not just about taste. It is experience, culture, and history. If your digital project combines all of these, the Region of Crete, European Region of Gastronomy for 2026, the Educational–Development organization PLOIGOS, and the IGCAT Institute invite you to submit your participation now.
