Loukoumi , Agios Nikolaos, Porto Lagos, Greece, Europe
Turkish delight, lokum or rahat lokum and many other transliterations is a family of confections based on a gel of starch and sugar. Premium varieties consist largely of chopped dates, pistachios, and hazelnuts or walnuts bound by the gel; traditional varieties are often flavored with rosewater, mastic, Bergamot orange, or lemon. The confection is often packaged and eaten in small cubes dusted with icing sugar, copra, or powdered cream of tartar, to prevent clinging. Other common flavors include cinnamon and mint. In the production process, soapwort may be used as an emulsifying additive. The origin of the confection is not well established, but it is known to have been produced in Turkey as early as the late 1700s.
In Greece, Turkish Delight, known as loukoumi, has been a very popular delicacy since the 19th century, famously produced in the city of Patras, Patrina loukoumia, as well as on the island of Syros and the northern Greek cities Thessaloniki, Serres and Komotini but elsewhere as well. Loukoumi is a common traditional treat, routinely served instead of biscuits along with coffee. In addition to the common rosewater and bergamot varieties, Mastic-flavored loukoumi is available and very popular. Another sweet, similar to loukoumi, that is made exclusively in the town of Serres, is Akanés.

Μεγάλη μείωση των αλιευμάτων στο Πόρτο Λάγος
Η υπεραλίευση και οι παράνομες μέθοδοι που χρησιμοποιούν πολλοί επιτήδειοι ψαράδες έχει οδηγήσει σε απόγνωση τους επαγγελματίες στην περιοχή του Πόρτο Λάγους. Χαρακτηριστικό παράδειγμα είναι τα χταπόδια τα οποία πλέον στην περιοχή είναι δυσεύρετα.
